What is Bio Watch 3?
Bio Watch Generation 3, a program being procured by Homeland security and estimated to cost 3 billion dollars, involves the deployment and testing of an estimated 2,500 M-BAND units as part of the Department of Homeland Security's Bio Watch Generation 3 program, set to roll out over the next five to six years.
The Power of M-BAND
Appropriately called a “lab in a box”, PositiveID Corporation's M-BAND bio-threat detection devices take up about as much space as a modern industrial fridge. Developed under contract for the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Division, M-BAND is a bio aerosol monitor designed to perform sample collection, data processing and detection, continuously analyzing air samples for a range of certain airborne pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and toxins. Since resulting data from individual M-BAND machines gets communicated in real time via a secure wireless network, this system promises to provide accurate and current information to connected field instruments. When operated as an integrated system, an M-BAND network becomes a solid warning system and the foundation of the Bio Watch 3 program.
The current system for analyzing and detecting potential bio-threats requires at least 36 hours and sometimes more before a threat can be identified. The M-BAND system can go from detection to alert in 4 to 6 hours, dramatically faster.
