Joint Biological Standoff
Detection System, Increment 1

Operations:
• Can be used from -21°C to 41°C
• Device or system has peak performance at normal relative
humidity conditions
• Between 1 to 3 years shelf life
• Greater than 10 years expected life
• Results can be viewed in real-time
• The system or device is currently fully autonomous
• The system software is open and available for modification
• The system hardware is open and available for modification
Detection:
• This system does not test liquids
• Poor specificity. System has a consistently high level of false
alarms (>10%)
• Spore lysis not necessary for detection by system
