Product Code: 97131
When the war broke out in Iraq, the CSI GSR Kit ISID-12(product code 97130) was presented to the Pentagon. Military commanders
immediately recognised the benefit of this technology. Soldiers were being
attacked by hostile combatants dressed as civilians, hiding in cars and
buildings etc. Once fired, they would then put down their weapons, mingle among
civilians and soldiers with impunity, creating a very dangerous situation.
However the product in its present form was of no use to
the Military. Soldiers needed a smaller product, so that they could carry
several tests in their backpacks. They also needed a product that primarily
yielded field results, not evidence for trial.
Thus, a military version of this technology was developed and renamed
RIFF (Rapid Identification, Friend or Foe) by the Pentagon. The Military can now quickly and accurately
identify hostile combatants (shooters), and detain them.
The test also responds accurately to black powder
(gunpowder), so it is helpful in identifying persons who have been building
bombs or transporting explosives.
Formerly only available to US troops it is now available
to our Military and other selected agencies around the world thru CSI.
