NSPA picks Avon for CBRN system
Avon Protection has been awarded a ten-year framework contract by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to supply a complete CBRN respirator system.
The value of the deal was undisclosed.
The procurement for NATO members was led by Finland and Norway, which established technical requirements and set parameters for end user testing.
Avon Protection will provide a bespoke modular solution that is based on its FM50 face mask (developed by the company in conjunction with the US DoD), MP-PAPR powered air purifying respirator and ST53 self-contained breathing apparatus.
