RE: Vanguard Response Systems Inc. Sole Source Product
Vanguard Response Systems Inc. is the exclusive supplier and sole licensee of the Blast Guard Air Dolly
System and Universal Containment System.
Our "unique" foam based decon and blast mitigation systems are modular, versatile, safe to use and works
with fresh, salt or gray water. This particular system is unique in it's capability to be a dual purpose system
that is effectively used for blast mitigation and decon of CB dispersal devices and with the change of a
nozzle can be used for surface decon as well. Unlike similar blast mitigation systems with decon capability
being used by Nabco, our system is considerably more affordable and is portable, therefore allowing the
technician to diffuse or neutralize devices in situ, while mitigating any collateral damage.
Its high foam application rate means it can also suppress harmful vapors and cover equipment faster than any
other system currently available. Our foam is aqueous based, user friendly, bio-degradable, non -toxic and
does not attack paint or rubber and is non corrosive when used as directed, yet it destroys all known Military
chemical and biological agents within the NATO specified times.
Vanguard Response Systems Inc. is the worlds most trusted solutions provider for containment and
suppression of the effects of destructive devices, whether they are chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear
or explosive (CBRNE). Our range of protective equipment offers affordable protection against a variety of
threats, with a single system.
