Abstract
One of the most difficult aspects of maintaining port and maritime security is the detection, localization, and classification of submerged explosive devices, biochemical agents, and contraband including narcotics. The Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community has expressed the need for improved methods of detection to augment current capabilities. SubChem Systems Inc. and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has been working to transition displacement-based immunosensing technology to a commercial system with application towards submerged munitions and contraband detection, classification, and localization. Immunosensing is based upon antibody specificity for a desired target. Funded by the Office of Naval Research, the partners have demonstrated using this technology as a means of chemical detection onboard a custom designed payload for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The NAVY Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program enabled SubChem Systems to provide a concept adaptation of the AUV payload to a diver held version for use in high clutter, low visibility, environments that present an added danger to EOD divers.
维护港口和海上安全最困难的方面之一是水下爆炸装置、生化制剂和包括麻醉品在内的违禁品的探测、定位和分类。爆炸物处理(EOD)界已经表示需要改进探测方法以增强现有能力。SubChem系统公司和美国海军研究实验室(NRL)一直致力于将基于位移的免疫传感技术转化为商业系统,应用于水下弹药和违禁品的探测、分类和定位。免疫感应是基于抗体特异性的期望目标。在美国海军研究办公室(Office of Naval Research)的资助下,合作伙伴展示了将该技术作为一种化学检测手段,搭载在一艘自主水下航行器(AUV)的定制有效载荷上。美国海军小企业创新研究(SBIR)项目使SubChem Systems公司能够将AUV有效载荷的概念调整为潜水员携带的版本,用于高杂波、低能见度、对EOD潜水员构成额外危险的环境。
