Chemical Threats
Expertise to detect, characterize, and mitigate chemical threats to support safety, preparedness, and national security operations
Timely and Accurate Threat Detection
Our work with chemical threats focuses on the detection, identification, and characterization of hazardous compounds, as well as developing methods to mitigate their impact. Timely and accurate threat assessment solutions support public safety, national security, and effective emergency response. This expertise strengthens preparedness and enables confident decision-making when bringing advanced capabilities to market and using them in the field.
