Featured Projects
Focus Area:
Detection and Identification
Project Cost:
$0.932M (IWTSD, $0.500M (Singapore), $0.075M (Domestic Preparedness Support Initiative)
Project Duration:
(In Progress)
Performer:
N5 Sensors
Deliverable:
Wearable Chemical Sensor
End User:
JPM CBRN SOF
Description:
This project will develop a wearable chemical sensor that is capable of rapidly distinguishing and automatically alerting on chemical warfare agents (CWAs), Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) hazards, and enriched or deficient oxygen levels from background. The sensor shall have a detection range from immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) down to permissible exposure limits (PEL) or acute exposure guideline levels (AEGL)-1 for each target chemical.
Operational Impact:
The system will provide continuous monitoring for chemical threats in a wearable package. This continuous automated monitoring will dramatically increase the user’s safety from dangerous chemical, flammable, and oxygen deficient environments while not taking their attention away from the task at hand or adding a significant weight burden.
Transition:
The performer intends to implement a USG-approved commercialization strategy to make the system available directly through their company, the GSA Catalog, and DLA Troop Support.
