Avir publishes new results of sensor development | January 26, 2004
Avir publishes results of laboratory tests and modeling of its new sensor technology(-> )Low cost remote chemical sensor for Homeland Security White Paper | August 14, 2003
A lightweight, low-cost, modular, infrared remote sensor of chemical weapon agents (CWA) and toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) is being developed by Avir for anti-terrorism applications. By providing rapid detection at sensitivities that exceed military requirements, the sensor can be used to rapidly map out the spread of chemicals and identify affected areas, thereby allowing effective contamination avoidance and a consequence management process, even by minimally trained first-tier responders.
