Abstract: AIRIS Wide Area Detector for Integrated Early Warning

William J. Marinelli, Michael L. Finson, John Hagge, Christopher M. Gittins, Teoman E. Ustun, Shing Chang, David C. Rossi, James O. Jensen, "AIRIS Wide Area Detector for Integrated Early Warning ," presented at 6th Joint Conference on Standoff Detection for Chemical and Biological Defense (Williamsburg, VA) , (25-29 October2004).

Abstract

We discuss the development of the AIRIS technology for the standoff detection, identification, and tracking of chemical warfare agents (CWA), toxic industrial chemicals (TIC), and biological warfare agent aerosols. This sensor is capable of detecting CWA vapors at levels required of the non-imaging JSLSCAD sensor, as well as many TICs, at their toxicity threshold. The development of this sensor will meet the need to detect smaller scale chemical releases at ranges to 5 km and in urban environments. The sensor will also provide the capability to perform on the move detection by providing data acquisition at 5 data cubes/second.
