Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD)
Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD) : This detector is a fully coordinated joint service Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation program, chartered to develop a lightweight standoff chemical detector for the quad-services. It will be capable of scanning 360 degrees x 60 degrees, and automatically detecting nerve or blister agents at a distance up to 5 km. The system will be light, compact, and operate from a stationary position or on the move. The JSLSCAD Michelson interferometer employs a passive infrared system that will detect presence of chemical agents by completing a spectral analysis of target vapor agent chemical clouds. This detector is envisioned for employment on various platforms and in various roles, including fixed site defense, unmanned aerial vehicles, tank and other vehicles, and on board ships
