Detect-Ion has secured a research contract with the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) to develop a sensor to identify aerosol-based chemical threats. The company will develop a compact sensor platform called Spectral using AI to detect and identify aerosolized chemical threats, with the goal of making critical decision-making easier and faster. Rapid detection of hazardous chemicals is essential for counterterrorism measures and public health initiatives. Last year, Detect-Ion also secured a contract with the Department of Defense to develop a handheld device that can detect multiple infectious pathogens. The project spans three years and aims to enable the screening of large quantities of people across various locations.
