Laser Sources for Standoff Chem-Bio Detection

Abstract

The US Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center is the leader in development of military laser-based systems for chemical and biological defense in collaboration with all Services, other Government laboratories academia and industry. Chemical and biological (CB) laser sensing principles. unique capabilities. state-of-the-art sensors. and emerging technologies will be discussed. Expected advancements in laser sources for CB detection offer significant improvements to the operational capability of the Future Combat System (FCS) and Future Force Warrior (FFW) in the area of Force Protection against the CB threat.
