Using proprietary technology from NASA and the University of Virginia, Avir has developed a unique platform technology that meets emerging market needs in chemical agent detection for military defense, domestic preparedness response to terrorism, and environmental protection. This technology provides competitive advantages in sensitivity, speed, simplicity, compactness, and lower energy demand, all at a low cost.
| Sensitive | Exceeding the sensitivity of remote sensors currently fielded by the US Army. |
| Remote | Distinguished from in situ detectors, which must be in the chemical cloud in order to function. |
| Multi-chemical | All weapon agents and simulants specified by the US army for remote sensing,as well as CO2, CO, natural gas, CH4, hydrocarbons, vehicle exhaust, and more. |
| Fast | Detection on the move. |
| Simple | Operable by personnel with minimal training required. |
| Robust | No or minimal moving parts. |
| Low Energy | Up to 10 hours with rechargeable battery. |
| Cost Effective | Price point at or below local purchasing authority levels. |
