"A suite of modular, rugged, easily deployable, field maintainable sensor pods capable of acquiring weather, chemical warfare agent, pollution, geographic and seismic data that can be tailored for multiple missions would provide essential battlefieldintelligence. These sensor pods would auto-network together to relay spatially and temporally stamped data back to a central hub with little user set ...

"Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) offer a particularly insidious threat to both military and civilian populations. The U.S. DOD uses a series of tools at the troop level including individual detection, point detection, and standoff detection to warn of CWAattack. These technologies are prone to various problems, including scuffs, lack of selectivity, and lack of sensitivity to gas-phase CWAs. Of p ...

"Recent world events highlight the need for portable, robust, standoff sensors that can provide early warning of chemical and biological attacks. Sensors are needed to provide search, detect, track and identification functions. Differential absorptionlidar (DIAL) has been demonstrated as one of the most promising techniques for standoff identification of chemical agents. However, to date, these ...

"This Small Business Innovation Research project addresses the development of a field-deployable monitor for detecting chemical warfare agents by their infrared spectrochemical signature. Phase I studies will demonstrate the potential capabilitieslow power, small size, and ultrasensitive chemical sensor for monitoring the presence of chemical warfare agents, which pose a significant threat to hea ...

Ballast water discharge may contaminate receiving waters, creating an extremely pervasive problem in which control/mitigation after introduction is very expensive. Thus, prevention is paramount. This project will develop an automated, modular, pilot-scale add-on ballast treatment system based on the electrocatalytic onsite H2O2 solution generation technology demonstrated in Phase I. Phase II effor ...

This project will utilize photolithography and microfabrication in the assembly of a Cr(VI) monitoring device that is compact, portable, and cost effective. The proposed sensor will be a self-contained laboratory that samples, analyzes, and stores the results of onsite testing under a variety of sampling conditions. The device will rely on the pressure-driven introduction of aqueous samples that w ...
