General Description
This is an ITT LISA Manportable sensor mounted on a Qinetiq Talon robot. It provides rapid scanning and short range standoff (0.5 m to 3 m) detection and identification of chemicals, agents, advanced threats and explosive materials. The user remotely controls the robot, views the interrogated spot and is provided detection and ID results in real time.
Technical Description
The sensor is based upon 10 years of UV Raman standoff spectroscopic sensor development by ITT. It is a robot compatible version of the ITT LISA Manportable sensor.
