The CBD is seeking innovative approaches for improving the sensitivity of chemical/biological detection systems. Our proposed solution entails a novel, high-frequency approach utilizing nano-size graphene as the sensing material, which provides an excessively large-surface area and high electrical transport property to suppress the background noise and significantly enhance the signal/noise ratio ...

Manning Applied Technology proposes to develop a handheld infrared spectrometer, ideally suited to detection of airborne chemical agents at and below permissible exposure limits. This approach offers unmatched sensitivity and specificity for detection of all types of chemical vapors. The instrument is modular, rugged, compact and highly sensitive. Volume pricing will be less than $1000 each. ...

The US Government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing decontamination capabilities to protect our military personnel and equipment from chemical warfare agents. With much of the traditional research and development efforts within focused on decontamination of chemical warfare (CW) agents, there has been a recent shift in the research base to include biological warfare (BW) agents ...

Several new generation chemical and biological (CB) decontaminants are based on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) chemistry. These new decontaminants have many desirable characteristics, including reactivity toward a broad spectrum of CB agents and toxins, as well as being less corrosive and more environmentally friendly than conventional decontaminating materials. However, these systems are still liquid b ...

Under the current SBIR solicitation, the DoD is interested in the development of novel decontaminating materials and methods to support rapid decontamination of interior spaces contaminated with chemical and biological agents. The proposed system should be portable, lightweight, self-powered and easy to use so it can be readily transported. The intended use of the portable system is to support ( ...

Under the current SBIR solicitation, the DoD is interested in the development of novel decontaminant solutions based on existing aircraft approved fluids (e.g., cleaning or deicing fluids), and application methods that will be compatible with the Transportable Decontamination System (TDS). The aircraft decontaminating solution should be capable of detoxifying chemical warfare (CW) agents, Non-Tra ...
