Bioaerosol Early Warning System

Capability Description: Bioaerosol Early Warning system based on use of available thermal image data in concert with a MAV-borne bioaerosol sampler

Key Features:

• A Recursive Bayesian Classifier (RBC) module operating on (uncooled) thermal image surveillance streams providing:

  • Persistent wide-area BWA surveillance, and
  • Cueing of BioMAV to an object of interest

• BioMAV comprised of two Modules:

  Module 1: InstantEye® carrying:
  -An on-board thermal imager used to locate and bound the thermal object, and
  -An aerosol sampler
  Module 2: Ground based bioaerosol analyzer to confirm the threat

Benefits:

• The approach produced a persistent object track enabling controlled threat sampling from within the plume’s boundaries by BioMAV
• Application to aerosolized and vapor phase chemicals
