Abstract
US Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, with contractor Fibertek, Inc., Herndon, VA, is developing a multiwavelength lidar system to provide detection and discrimination ofpotential Biological Warfare (BW) clouds at standoff distances of several kilometers. Under this effort, a prototype system using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology has been designed, fabricated and successftilly tested against a range ofBW simulants at the Dugway Proving Ground, UT. The system, known as the Short Range Biological StandoffDetection System (SR-BSDS), has demonstrated the capability of detecting biological aerosols using infrared LIDAR while discriminating between biological and non-biological using ultraviolet LIDAR. The SR-BSDS is a component ofthe Joint Biological Remote Early Warning System (JBREWS) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program. This paper describes the technology and the hardware and presents recent field testing results.
