Sensor Systems for Biological Agent Attacks : Protecting Buildings and Military Bases PDF
by National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design, Committee on Materials and Manufacturing Processes for Advanced Sensors
Description
Over the last ten years, there has been growing concern about potential biological attacks on the nations population and its military facilities. It is now possible to detect such attacks quickly enough to permit treatment of potential victims prior to the onset of symptoms. The capability to detect to warn, that is in time to take action to minimize human exposure, however, is still lacking. To help achieve such a capability, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to assess the development path for detect to warn sensors systems. This report presents the results of this assessment including analysis of scenarios for protecting facilities, sensor requirements, and detection technologies and systems. Findings and recommendations are provided for the most probable path to achieve a detect-to-warn capability and potential technological breakthroughs that could accelerate its attainment.
