Not Available The requirement for automated, passive, stand-off detection, identification and quantification of materials is a common theme in many applications of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. Existing FTIR sensors such as the Block Engineering Model 100 and Model 500 are quite mature and have been demonstrated in hand held, land based, vehicle mounted, and airborne applications. While these sensors offer high sensitivity resulting in high quality spectra, reliable and consistent, automated detection and identification in realistic scenarios has not been adequately demonstrated. Under this Phase I effort, ASIT will concentrate on developing innovative spectral processing technologies and prototype demonstration of automated chemical detection and identification techniques that address real-world problems including: time varying spectral mixtures, with unknown background composition, and unknown interferant signatures. BENEFITS: To address both Government and commercial needs for passive, stand-off chemical detection and identification, this effort will combine existing FTIR sensors with specialized analysis software and lead to the development of a portable and fully automated chemical analysis system.
