What the grant funds
DEVCOM CBC requires a capable and qualified company to provide labor support, supervisory support, materials, tools, and equipment to develop state-of-the-art semi-autonomous standoff DUV Raman Systems. The first two (2) systems should be capable of operating at 262 nm. The additional two (2) systems should be capable of operating below 250nm. The U.S. Army currently has a challenge to detect large and small quantities of chemicals solids and liquids) at standoff distances greater than two (2) meters on ground and surfaces to enhance avoidance and situational awareness of a chemically hazard environment. The Army is gathering data to determine Industry’s ability to address this capability gap and determine the effectiveness deployment upon successful technological development.
