Abstract

Alakai Defense Systems has recently developed what we believe is the first one-handed UV Raman sensor for standoff trace detection of chemicals, which we refer to as Argos. Argos, equipped with increased range and detection capability, is the higher performance version of the lower cost SAFR sensor. And because they are lightweight, both Argos and SAFR can be deployed onto unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Data will be presented showing Argos detection performance on residue and trace samples at ranges from 2 m to 15 m. Further, data will be presented from UGV and UAV experiments performed with the SAFR system in warehouse and outdoor applications.
