Long Range Biological Standoff Detection System (LR-BSDS) P31
Long Range Biological Standoff Detection System (LR-BSDS) P31 : This detection system uses infrared light detection and ranging (Infrared Light-Detection and Ranging) technology to detect, range, and track aerosol clouds that are indicative of a biological warfare attack; the LR-BSDS cannot discriminate biological from non-biological clouds. The system has three major components - (a) Aiode pulsed ionizing radiation laser transmitter operating at infrared wavelength. (b) A receiver and telescope. (c) An information processor and display. This system has been designed in two phase: a non-developmental item phase designed to rapidly field an interim capability, and a pre-planned product improvement (P31) phase. The nondevelopmental item system is able to detect and track man-made aerosols out to 30 km, but noneyesafe out to about 2.5 km. The P31 LR-BSDS will be eyesafe, have a longer operating range (50 km), and be easier to operate
