Defence against biological, chemical and radiological attacks: The technology way forward
Article Abstract:
The Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is aggressively assessing the protection of soldiers on the battlefield, as well as the protection of high-value buildings from both chemical and biological attack through a number of programmes. Over the past two years, the programme has led to the development of high-efficiency agent filtration and neutralization technologies for a broad range of agents which include chemical and biological sensor-activated HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) control systems.
