Rapid Identification of Ordnance and IED Materials

The Quantum Fingerprint technology is a novel and exciting sensor technology that combines high trace species detection sensitivities with high degree of species selectivity in a small, low power, low noise,solid state platform. It is inherently versatile and can be made to be very rugged and reliable. Interfaces with available GPS and wireless communications are provided depending on the preferences of the user. NxGen Electronics Inc is partnering with US Semiconductor and in collaboration of University of Missouri. This proposal addresses the need for rapidly identifying and sourcing Ordnance and IED materials including the place of manufacture and origin of IED components. Both commonality and differences between IED components can be determined to identify source and relationship to unknown IED manufacture. The system is designed to be used in broad range of military and civilian applications where identification of bomb components is critical. Rapid interdiction and neutralization of international terroist groups and the security in industrial facilities can be enhanced with a high degree of certainty.
