Kuwait gets first integrated national center for defense against WMDs by Richard Tomkins Washington (UPI) Jul 27, 2017 Saab and its Kuwaiti partner have delivered the world's first integrated national center for defense against weapons of mass destruction to Kuwait.

That system is a flexible method for the detection, identification, warning, monitoring and reporting of CBRN hazards and is part of the CBRN center's operations.
