The use of NBC warfare agents has increased in recent years. This is shown by the use of chemical warfare agents in the Syrian civil war and the nuclear build-up in North Korea and possibly in Iran. Attacks were carried out directly on people with NBC weapons - for example on Alexander Livinienko (2016) with the radioniclide Polonium-210, on Kim Jongnam with the chemical warfare agent VX, on the Skripals (2018) with a new type of C weapon (Novichok). . The discovery of the toxin ricin in a quantity sufficient for an attack in Cologne (2019) served to prepare for an attack. We are currently experiencing what biological substances can do in the face of the Corona pandemic. Detecting biological warfare agents - such as Corona - is more complicated and is only very limited with the Bundeswehr's equipment and is not possible with the mobile capabilities presented here.
