Naval CBRN Monitoring System Operator Training
Environics conducted a four-day Naval CBRN Monitoring System user training for our Canadian partners from Primex.
The training started with a pre-study based on a dedicated e-Learning course – specifically tailored and designed to support our partner network with basic understanding of the system, its components, operation, and user level maintenance tasks.
