Abstract: AIRIS Wide Area Detection System Field Tests

William J. Marinelli, Christopher M. Gittins, Bogdan C. Cosofret, Teoman E. Ustun, James O. Jensen, "AIRIS Wide Area Detection System Field Tests ," presented at 6th Joint Conference on Standoff Detection for Chemical and Biological Defense (Williamsburg, VA) , (25-29 October2004).

Abstract

The AIRIS Wide Area Detection System breadboard was employed in an airborne configuration to detect chemical agent stimulant releases during the technology readiness Evaluations conducted at Dugway Proving Grounds (TRE-02) and at the Joint Urban 2003 tests at Oklahoma City, OK. Additional test data was acquired from ground measurements conducted during the TRE-02 and the Pentagon Shield tests. Observations were mode of the chemical stimulant SF₆ and the biological simulant BG. We report on quantitative observations of these releases, focusing on the ability to detect and track the releases using various algorithms through desert and urban environments.
