Concepts for Detection, Identification, Tracking & Locating Systems

Research and Development projects to develop tools and prototypes ultimately demonstrating the ability to accurately identify a specific target (person or pathogen) at anytime or anyplace in any environment.

Projects include the development of capabilities to miniaturize sensors and sensor systems, and to develop sensors with capabilities to perform and communicate in unattended networks, biometrics, and robust approaches to rapidly detect and classify pathogens and chemical warfare agents.
