Validation of the Working Dog Advanced Threat Assessment System (WD ATAS) - Quick Look Report

Abstract

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center is developing a Working Dog Advanced Threat Assessment System (WD ATAS) to address current and emerging threats that are not contained within the standard issue DoD canine explosives detection training aid kit. The WD ATAS would allow for the rapid production of additional canine detection training aids while eliminating many of the issues associated with manufacture, packaging, transport, handling, custody, access, storage, replacement, and disposal of current canine explosive training aids containing bulk material. To address these complex issues, the WD ATAS combines two current technologies: the training aid delivery device (TADD) and inkjet-printed coupons. The goal is to provide inkjet-printed explosive coupons safely contained within TADDs to mimic the odor profile of their bulk counterparts despite utilizing significantly less explosive material.
