Abstract
This presentation describes implementations of remote chemical detection capabilities developed by Pendar Technologies, allowing safe identification of explosives and toxic materials by military personnel and first responders using unmanned ground and air vehicles. These integration efforts are based on the Pendar X10 system, a handheld standoff Raman chemical identification system. Following an update on recent improvements to the Pendar X10 platform, integration to both air and ground vehicles will be discussed. Our presentation will highlight the key design elements enabling successful remote chemical identification, as well as solutions developed specifically to facilitate integration to unmanned platforms.
