Abstract:

This FY20/21 NRL NISE program (NRL WU 4X10) demonstrated standoff detection of trace explosives and surrogate analytes on surfaces relevant for Navy and Marine Corps needs. We have developed Infrared Backscatter Imaging Spectroscopy (IBIS) as a dedicated portable system to leverage recent advances in component technologies such as infrared (IR) quantum cascade lasers (QCL), IR focal plane arrays, and machine learning algorithms. We have also successfully developed algorithms to detect and identify threat chemicals by their infrared spectral signatures.
