Abstract

Alakai Defense Systems has recently developed what we believe is the first one-handed UV Raman sensor for standoff trace detection of chemicals, which we refer to as Argos. Argos is the higher performance version of lower cost SAFR sensor, since it has increased range and trace detection capability. Since it is lightweight, Argos can also be deployed on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV’s) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Data is presented showing how Argos detection performance is essentially the same as Alakai’s proven trace detection sensor PRIED, however it is ~70% smaller and lighter.
