Abstract

Alakai Defense Systems has recently developed what we believe is the first one-handed UV Raman sensor for standoff detection of chemicals, which we refer to as the Situational Awareness for First Responders (SAFR-1). Alakai is now expanding that product line to offer a higher performance version called SAFR-2 for longer range and trace detection. SAFR-1 detects bulk and residue quantities of material up to a range of 5 m. Since it is lightweight, SAFR can also be deployed on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV’s) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). SAFR-2 incorporates an Intensified CCD (ICCD) array for more sensitivity and trace detection capability.
