Sensor Feasibility Report: Survey of the Capabilities and Limitations of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) Sensor Technologies Relevant to Vehicle Inspection Systems

Abstract

This report provides a summary of KRD's research on existing Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) sensor technologies and possible incorporation into Under Vehicle Inspection Systems (UVIS) platforms, as provided in the sensor integration plan. Sections two through five discuss how KRD could potentially integrate these technologies into its Under-Vehicle Inspection System (UVIS) platforms, thereby enhancing their threat detection capabilities. These sections also focus on the practical implications of each sensor technology, including capabilities, limitation, operational considerations, and integration with UVIS platforms. Detailed information on the theory and principal of operation for each sensor technology can be found in the references. Section six presents a sensor integration plan for incorporating sensor capabilities into KRD's UVIS platforms for large vehicles. This plan summarizes the practical considerations in selecting a CBRNE sensor. Additionally, it discusses the advantage of selecting a "weigh-in-motion" capability as the first sensor technology that KRD will use in conjunction with its UVIS platforms.
