In wide service throughout the world, FLIR IBAC products are used to collect and detect aerosolized agents for all four classes of environmental biological threat agents (airborne spore, viral, cellular, and protein toxins). The results are easy to interpret, can be monitored remotely, with indications in seconds following exposure, and highly reproducible and accurate. The well characterized and validated onboard algorithms allow for the IBAC to work reliably within minutes of deployment without requiring a customized background of conditions. The IBAC’s algorithms are tuned to precisely monitor air continuously to detect anomalies within outdoor or indoor operating environments. The IBAC is rugged and can support standalone fixed site, tactical and expeditionary deployments, and can easily be integrated into other security cabinets and enclosures inclusive of unmanned and manned vehicles and HVaC units.
