Chemical and Biological Agent Detectors

Mission Area

Assessment of Chemical and Biological Agent Detectors

Problem

• Test results show poor sensor-to-sensor detection correlation.
• Inconsistencies are exacerbated by the operational environment.
• Issues expand to affect homeland defense

Solutions

• NSWC Corona has established an end-to-end program to assess the operational effectiveness and operational suitability of chemical and biological agent detectors.
• NSWC Corona has established a program to develop standard reference materials for measurement baseline.

Impact

• Improvements on the effectiveness and suitability of chemical and biological agent detectors.
