S.Korea Develops Tech for Early Detection of Chemical Weapons
South Korea’s state-owned Agency for Defense Development (ADD) has developed technology for early, real-time detection of chemical weapons.
The ADD developed Hyperspectral Imaging Stand-off Chemical Agent Detection System technology under a project launched in 2012. It allows the military to detect and monitor contaminant plumes in real time from a long distance, Yonhap reported citing officials from the agency.
The technology is designed for lighter chemical agent detection equipment, which can be installed on both manned and unmanned reconnaissance systems.
The ADD wants to also develop technologies for the detection of biological weapons to help strengthen defense readiness against security threats, including those from terrorist groups.
