Measurement reports of Falcon 4G-S

1 Measurement reports of Falcon 4G-S Executive summary Our active stand-off detector Falcon 4G-S is capable of detecting chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemical at distances up to 6 km in real environments. Such a detection range is 2-times better than of the best passive detector available on the market. In this document, we provide an overview of measurements conducted with Falcon 4G-S in various environments, with different substances and at various distances. At the same time sensitivity of our Falcon 4G-S is on average 3- times better than of the best passive detector available. Some chemical warfare agents defined by NATO are detectable only with our Falcon 4G-S (e.g. Cyclosarin). Sensitivity of Falcon 4G-S is on average 5-times improved compared to DD-CWA DIAL, which is the Falcon s predecessors in the product line.
