Overview of chem-bio sensing

The US Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center is the leader in development of military systems for chemical and biological defense, in collaboration with all Services, other Government laboratories, academia, and industry. Chemical and biological optical sensing principles, unique capabilities, state-of-the-art sensors, and emerging technologies will be discussed. Exciting new results will be presented on standoff biodiscrimination using infrared (IR) depolarization lidar and long-wave IR (LWIR) lidar.
