Handheld TDS Terahertz (THz) Spectrometer
Abstract
COUNTERING NUCLEAR THREATS This effort is to develop and demonstrate a handheld time domain THz spectrometer for detecting explosives with a non-contact distance of 20-30cm. Current Trace detectors require consumables to swipe the interrogation surface and a radiological program since most contain Nickel 63 sources. THz spectrometers would reduce the need for consumables and remove the overhead costs for radiological support. Supporting requirement documentation includes JUONS CC-0255, IEDD ICD, IUBIP ICD, Portable Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear Explosive (CBRNE)/Weapons of Mass Destruction Detector - Navy Urgent Operational Needs Statement, IBDSS CDD, Joint Service Explosive Ordnance Disposal (JSEOD) ICD, CBRNE Sense ICD
