 STC is on the
front lines of research and development against chemical
and biological weapons. We are working daily on a wide
variety of projects that focus on the best ways to
design chemical-biological defense systems and the
safest ways to dispose of chemical weapons.

A Few
STC Programs
-
For the U.S. Army
Research, Development, and Engineering Command's (RDECOM's)
Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), STC conducts the development and evaluation of
standoff detection systems, including lidars and microbiological detection systems, for
chemical and biological agents. This support involves test and evaluation (test planning,
operations, analyses, and documentation), design and fabrication, simulation and modeling,
tradeoff analyses, and effectiveness assessment and material release documentation.
-
STC provides biological integrated system support, evaluates emerging
biological sensor technologies, and conducts feasibility studies for applications of DNA
technologies.
-
In support of the U.S. Army Chemical Agent Munitions Disposal System Directorate at
Tooele, Utah, STC personnel develop and apply methods of detecting fugitive
compounds entering the air, soil, and water in the proximity of the demilitarization site. -more-
and more....
-
STC provides assessment of developmental biosensors and bioagent assays to
resolve restrictions, improve efficiency, and validate protocols.
-
STC conducts applied research to improve flow cytometry protocols, develops
specific assays and evaluates developmental platforms for joint biological detection
programs.
-
STC
is supporting the full spectrum of Chemical and
Biological Defense and systems to include air
monitoring and chemical and biological laboratory
operations up to Bio Safety Level 3. Also
included is open-air smoke and obscurants testing
and evaluation.
-
In support of the Program and Integration Support contract, STC provides
integrated program acquisition support to the Chemical Materials Agency for the destruction of the stockpile of
lethal unitary chemical agents and munitions and chemical warfare related materials.
-
For the U.S. Army, Dugway Proving Ground, STC developed an automated image
processing system (TRACE) to extract aerosol cloud boundaries from visible and infrared
video images. Processing and analysis software as well as a GUI interface were developed
for the TRACE system.
-
STC provides electronic design support for laser standoff detection for the
U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, including fabrication and testing a
compact, high data rate lidar system to be used as a test bed for innovative hardware and
software techniques to improve detection of CB agents; and designing an automated gain
control system for the WILDCAT Program.
-
For the U.S. Army, STC has been conducting studies since 1995 on the Theory
and Measurements of Aerosol Backscatter and surface polarization to improve the Frequency
Agile Laser (FAL) surface and aerosol detection capabilities. Surface targets were
measured with an airborne FAL Lidar; the analysis of the FAL backscattered reflectance
measurements from soil surfaces contaminated with oil chemical agents was performed; and
the effect of multiple scattering resulting from heavy dust on differential absorption and
the deduced gas trace concentration was evaluated.
