Development of a chemical, atomic and toxic compound surveillance system - CATSS

A demonstrator of an automatic surveillance system for chemical, radiological and toxic compounds, called CATSS, has been developed at FFI. The system contains several commercially available detectors integrated into CATSS. CATSS has been tested in a wind tunnel to check if the air reaches the detectors. The system has also been tested outdoors at summer temperatures to check the power consumption. Software for read-out of alarms from the detectors has been developed. CATSS is intended to be integrated into the central Command Control and Information (C2I) System in the Norwegian Defence.
