• High-sensitivity for multiple substances in diverse environments
• Not limited to one type of chemical agents
• Not restricted to particular operating environments and
architectures (functional and literal chokepoints and get-arounds)
• Usability – the non-technical-specialist needs to be able to use this
effectively without a great deal of concentration or specialized learning
(If it is so specialized and sensitive, it will have predictable operational
fail-points)

3. High-Demand Challenges
• Weapon Technology
– Chemistry
– Architecture
– Concealment
• Weapon Effectiveness
– Fault-tolerance and Fail-safe Mechanisms
– Necessary vs. Sufficient Yield
– Ability to mimic false positives and build “immunity” to detection
• Detection Strategy
– Must evolve from “detect at point of deployment” to “detect at
place of design and manufacture”
– Must “look ahead” to new weapon design engineering, operations

7. Chemical Explosive Biothreat Identification and Tracking
JEDI / CEBIT
A solution that (economically, and ergonomically) CAN “cover all bases”
Components:
1. An extensible grid (array) of multi-spectral, multi-functional sensor elements – Not Only
For Explosives (but that is the Present Focus and Demand).
2. A chip set operating in a card package – self-contained, self-powered, easy, robust,
and very inexpensive.
3. A human factors system that is unobtrusive and can increase protection while
speeding up the inspection process.
4. Adaptable “engine” to meet future needs (especially “E” and “B” threats) As They
Emerge.
5. Aerosol concentrator auxiliary system to handle cases of extremely difficult
concentrations due to the nature of the compound or the operating environment.
6. A scalable architecture that can be operated as a network in a number of confined
physical environments or expanded to roadside/neighborhood outdoor operations.

9. Chemical Explosive Biothreat Identification and Tracking
JEDI / CEBIT
Analysis based upon predictive, modeling-building order/lattice theory, inverse
methods, support vector algorithms, and related nonlinear reasoning models
♦ Reliance upon sensors, Bayesian PR, post-symptomatic reports alone is insufficient
♦ Greatest risk of missing the threat underway is in slow ability to rapidly plan and
coordinate response on multiple levels – similar as with biothreats – sensing agents,
decon, sampling, diagnosis, treatments
♦ Information Integration must occur at the micro (chip) level
♦ JEDI (CEBIT) learns from what worked and failed in similar system environments
♦ Confirmation and refinement of identified threats, false positives requires improved
methods – SVM and IRM (GENET) can provide better discrimination & classification
♦ Coordination of resources, teams, delivery, dissemination, disbursement requires
the approach used in CHAIN and COPF

15. Chemical Explosive Biothreat Identification and Tracking
The GIS components are essential for critical data and interactive human+machine analysis.
The missing ingredients are available and readily integrated with the mathematical analytics.
With architectures such as Nomad Eyes or Red Cell, the communication gaps can be
crossed for data gathering, verification, planning and response.

16. NEXT STEPS Needed Now, Not After Another 9-11
JEDI / CEBIT
IS READY FOR FIELD TESTING AND PROTOTYPING
Actions Required:
One Agency that wants to take the lead in protecting their people, their country.
One specific flexible, receptive test environment (real airport, real neighborhood).
One firm step forward to enable co-creating the fieldable, working operational system.
One “break” from the monotony of the usual prolonged set of procedures and delays that
often are indirectly serving the aims of terrorists.
A few open doors.
A modest budget.
A unified team with the determination to stop those who want to destroy our lives.
