Smiths Detection Inc. receives a $90.8M IDIQ contract to manufacture Joint Chemical Agent Detector Adapter for US Department of Defense
Smiths Detection Inc. (SDI), a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, announced it will initiate manufacturing of the Solid Liquid Adapter (SLA) following an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) award, worth potentially $90.8M over a maximum nine (9) year ordering period, with the US Department of Defense (DoD). The SLA adds new and expanded detection and identification capabilities to Joint Chemical Agent Detectors (JCAD), one of the DoD’s largest chemical detection programs in history.
JCAD fitted with an SLA (JCAD SLA) gives the SLA operator the ability to both test for illicit drugs, including opioids such as fentanyl, and detect explosive compounds – without compromising the conventional chemical warfare agent detection capability of the JCAD.
Speaking about the newly developed technology, Smiths Detection Inc. President, Shan Hood, said, “The SLA leverages existing technology, extending both capabilities and the life-cycle of widely deployed detection devices. It is an example of how Smiths Detection applies innovative technology and digital applications to help customers maximize the investments they make today, while preparing for the future.”
The JCAD is based on SDI’s Lightweight Chemical Detector (LCD) product line of advanced, easy-to-use and lightweight threat detection devices that are hand-held or easily strapped to a belt. The LCD is a cost-effective and reliable solution that protects military personnel, police and HazMat responders by alerting operators to toxic substances and dangerous chemicals detected.

Logical Intelligence Achieves 76 Percent on Putnam Benchmark, Highlighting Shift Beyond Large Language Models to Language-free, Mathematically Grounded Models2.12.2025 16:15:00 EET | Press release
Over the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has been largely built around large language models (LLMs). These systems are based on a language and guess words in a chain in the form of tokens. As a result, they frequently hallucinate and require vast compute and power infrastructure to solve tasks. The moment systems like public safety, national infrastructure, and industrial automation need logic, LLMs break and introduce safety risks. Token-free language independent models represent a new direction for AI. They do not predict words. They search for correct solutions and require less compute. Logical Intelligence is the first company building exclusively around mathematically derived, non autoregressive EBM (Energy Based Model) reasoning. Today, Logical Intelligence announced that its Aleph tool achieved a 76 percent score on the Putnam Benchmark, one of the most demanding mathematical reasoning tests in artificial intelligence. The benchmark measures a model’s ability to solve
