Multi-Function Wand Prototype Development

This SLI proposal for development of a Multisensor Wand, which we designated the MultiFunction Wand, describes a carefully planned program to reach the overarching objective of providing a sound design concept that will address the vital need for a Handheld Multisensor tool to improve the checkpoint screeners ability to quickly make a judgment call on whether someone is concealing illicit objects or threats without requiring analysis of an image. The ultimate MultiFunction Wand Program objective is to successfully design and develop a MFW prototype suitable for independent evaluation by the Transportation Security Laboratory by the end of a Phase II program. The MFW will integrate multiple sensing technologies in a hand held sensor that will provide an unambiguous indication of the presence of contraband. To meet this need, Spectral Labs Incorporated plans to advance the design of the sensors demonstrated in Phase I to a form factor suitable for packaging in a handheld device. We will conduct the system design and fabrication activities required to integrate our sensors into Prototype devices ready for DHS Test and Evaluation.
