This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides unique perspectives on the state of the art in multispectral/hyperspectral techniques for early-warning monitoring against chemical, biological and radiological (CB&R) contamination of both surface (e.g. land) and air (e.g. atmospheric) environments through the presentation of a comprehensive survey of the novel spectroscopic methodologies and technologies that are emerging to address the CB&R defense and security challenges of the future. The technical content in this book lends itself to the non-traditional requirements for point and stand-off detection that have evolved out of the US joint services programs over many years. In particular, the scientific and technological work presented seeks to enable hyperspectral-based sensing and monitoring that is in real time and in-line; low in cost and labor requirements; and easy to support, maintain and use in military and security-relevant scenarios.

This book was released on 2008-08-29 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biological warfare agent (BWA) is a microorganism, or a toxin derived from a living organism, that causes disease in humans, plants, or animals or that causes the deterioration of material. The effectiveness of a BWA is greatly reduced if the attack is detected in time for the target population to take appropriate defensive measures. Therefore, the ability to detect a BWA, in particular to detect it before the target population is exposed, will be a valuable asset to defense against biological attacks. The ideal detection system will have quick response and be able to detect a threat plume at a distance from the target population. The development of reliable biological standoff detection systems, therefore, is a key goal. However, testing biological standoff detection systems is difficult because open-air field tests with BWAs are not permitted under international conventions and because the wide variety of environments in which detectors might be used may affect their performance. This book explores the question of how to determine whether or not a biological standoff detection system fulfills its mission reliably if we cannot conduct open-air field tests with live BWAs.

Book excerpt: The probability of U.S. forces encountering CB agents during worldwide conflicts remains high. In the next 10 years, the threat from the proliferation of CBW weapons will increase. This will result from development of CB agents more difficult to detect and from adoption of more capable delivery systems. Several countries have CW capabilities (e.g., North Korea, China, India, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libra, and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union). The Joint Service Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) Overview for FY00-FY01 identified early warning as the key to avoiding CB agent contamination. Standoff and point detection means, combined with effective collective and individual protective systems, can mitigate, even preclude an effective CBW attack. The CBD annual report acknowledges several major technical challenges to CB defense, including minimization of false positive/negative alarms, "size, weight, and power reduction of detectors, power generation and consumption, development of integrated biological and chemical detection systems, and the fusion of sensor data with mapping, imagery, and other data." To address these challenges, Luna focused development efforts on critical areas previously identified, "system miniaturization, improved sensitivity and specificity, agent characterizations and range, decreased false alarm rate, and decreased operation/support costs."
