LaserWarn™
Open-Path Chemical Detection System
LaserWarn™ is an open path chemical gas detection system based on patented quantum cascade laser technology. LaserWarn detects chemical threats over a coverage area of thousands of square meters, and is available in both indoor and outdoor versions.
Eye-safe laser beams and low-cost reflectors provide real-time, 24/7 early warning of Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs), and other chemicals. The system configuration is tailored to each site, and can be visually blended into existing architecture and interior design. System updates can be provided in response to emerging threats.
Multiple hazardous chemicals can be detected within seconds, even in chemically "noisy" environments. The system requires no consumables, and is low maintenance compared to conventional networks of point sensors. The system is available in a ruggedized IP66-certified version for harsh environments, as well as a lighter version for indoor use.
The system features a multi-level graphical user interface, providing simple red/green information screens or more detailed with screens if preferred. Additionally, the XML data output streams directly into existing command & control displays.
