The HAWK FR instrument is based on the proven Hawk interferometer, and is resistant to mechanical shocks, vibrations, humidity, and extreme temperature differences. It is hardened for field operations in harsh and rugged environments, but does not meet military specifications, which are often not required in homeland security. The HAWK FR features easy handling, robust and compact design, low weight, minimal power consumption, low detection limits, fast measurement and alarm, and continuous monitoring. All this distinguishes the HAWK FR as an efficient and reliable chemical agent and toxic cloud detector for field screening from stand-off position of up to one mile. The HAWK FR sensor is a passive mid-infrared (mid-IR) detector which identifies the characteristic "fingerprint" signatures of chemical agents. Substance identification is performed by comparing the measured signal with all spectral fingerprints from a database. Sophisticated software discriminates against possible interferents and thus avoids false alarms. Depending on atmospheric conditions and the characteristics of the agent cloud, the system can detect chemicals at a line-of-sight distance of up to one mile. Advantages of the new HAWK-FR * Robust and compact design * Low weight * Minimal power consumption * Low detection limits * Fast measurement and alarm * Continuous monitoring
