Petri Karhula, CBRN Application Manager for armoured vehicles, and Toni Leikas, CBRN Specialist / Training Manager will familiarize you with the role of main battle tanks (MBTs) in the modern battlefield.
CBRN threats can affect the whole armoured brigade and everyone in the warzone, not only MBTs. In fact MBTs with CBRN detection capabilities are very effective on detecting those threats, saving time for better and more informed decision making, e.g. when compared with manually operated devices.
In this approximately 20min session, CBRN Application Manager Petri Karhula will inquire Training Manager Toni Leikas on several topics related to CBRN threats and the function on main battle tanks.
