SP Défense

A company of Honeywell, SP Défense has over 80 years of experience in protecting military and law enforcement personnel, as well as first responders, against CBRN hazards.

Delivering CBRN air filtration solutions

We design, produce and test Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) air filtration systems for civil and military applications: either individual respiratory protection equipment, or collective protection units for vehicles, mobile shelters, tents, ships and underground shelters. Our portfolio includes also leak testers for gas masks and breathing simulators for assessing the performance of respirators.

Filter canisters

Our CBRN, ABEK and CS filter canisters protect the military, the law enforcement personnel or the first responders against a wide range of toxic products, from CBRN agents to industrial chemicals and tear gas.

For law enforcement

Our masks and CS filter canisters protect law enforcement officers against tear gas. Equipped with CS collective filters, our air filtration units protect the inside of their vehicles during riot control missions.

For helicopters and transport aircraft

Our EPHASE system is a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator, designed for protection against CBRN hazards of the crew on board helicopters and transport aircraft, consisting of a gas mask connected to a personal blower fitted with filter canisters.

For submarines

Our masks can be connected to the breathable air network of a submarine, to provide every crew member with breathable air, should the atmosphere become unbreathable, due to pollution, fire or lack of oxygen. They can be connected to portable air cylinders for escape. Our portfolio also includes specific Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus for submarines and portable air sources.

Breathing simulator

For PPE laboratories, we offer our breathing simulator, whose mechanical lung can be programmed to reproduce any breathing cycle, mathematical or human, to check the characteristics and performance of gas masks or PAPRs for different breathing patterns.

Mask leak tester

Our leak tester is used by maintenance personnel to check masks for leaks in 30 sec. A software allows to keep a log of the results for a stock.

Casualty bag

To be installed on a stretcher, our casualty bag is used to evacuate through a CBRN-contaminated area a casualty who cannot wear protective equipment. It consists of a transparent positive-pressure plastic bag supplied with filtered air by a portable blower fitted with filter canisters.

CBRN collective filters

At the heart of air filtration units, our CBRN collective filters protect the inside of vehicles, tents, ships, mobile or fixed shelters against CBRN hazards. Thanks to our wide range of filters, we can always offer a solution tailored to airflow rate and environmental requirements. Our filters comply with NATO standards.

For vehicles and mobile shelters

Tailored to requirements, our CBRN air filtration units are designed to fit your vehicle or mobile shelter, providing filtered air and positive pressure. Our overpressure valves maintain the required pressure differential with the outside atmosphere.

For tents

To pressurize the inside of tents with filtered air and ensure the protection of its occupants, we offer portable and weatherproof CBRN air filtration units that can be installed outdoors.

For surface vessels

Our CBRN air filtration units for surface ships create a positive pressure in the citadel and supply it with filtered air, protecting the inside from the penetration of CBRN agents. Our units are tailored to requirements.

For underground shelters

High capacity CBRN filters, anti-blast valves, fans, overpressure valves, airtight doors, air locks, air intake units, monitoring and control: this is our offering for fixed and underground shelters.

Need help in the design of your shelter? Our long experience in this field is a real asset in ensuring that shelters comply with the basics of CBRN protection.
