Tactical chemical biological threat detection

Abstract

This relates to a chemical biological threat detection system for enhancing the, discrimination in chemical biological threat detection in atmospheric air, low level chemical biological threat detection in air, as well as tactical determination of threat chemical biological agents' concentrations in a specific atmospheric range, at various time intervals. This uses the concept of quantitative monitoring the atmospheric air for chemical biological threats, as well as measuring the quantitative correlations/ratios in differential changes in the air, for the active/passive chemical biological Infrared (IR) EM radiation at an 8-12 μM wavelength, absorption/emission/scattering, using Electro-Optics. This chemical biological solution will use the reference chemical biological IR EM radiation (absorption, emission, scattering) signatures for comparison.

1 . A chemical biological threat detection system for detecting chemical and biological threats in atmosphere, comprising:
 a detector having a field of monitor, for detecting incoming infrared radiation in the wavelength range 8-12 μM wavelength;   an analyzer having reference equations, a reference database, and a computer, for determining quantitative correlations ratios of the unknown chemical biological threat agent that enters the field of monitor of the detector, using direct I 0 (λ) and I 10 (λ).   
     
     
         2 . A method for detecting chemical and biological threats in atmosphere, comprising:
 providing a chemical and biological threat detection system having a detector which has a field of monitor, for detecting incoming infrared radiation in the wavelength range 8-12 μM wavelength and having an analyzer having reference equations, a reference database, and a computer, for determining quantitative correlations ratios of the unknown chemical biological threat agent that enters the field of monitor of the detector, using direct I 0 (λ) and I 10 (λ); and   using the computer to determine a ratio of I 0 (λ) and I 10 (λ) for comparison with the reference database to detect chemical and biological threats.
