Argos
Leveraging Alakai’s market-leading technology for standoff detection of solid and liquid threat chemicals, Argos's capabilities push the envelope for real-time standoff detection and identification of bulk, residue and trace quantities of threat materials. The device features an intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) in the spectrometer, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio by approximately 500 times, resulting in a more sensitive Raman Spectrometer.
Argos’s small size, lightweight design, and 2-hour battery life make it ideal as a handheld device using the built-in screen or mounted on robotic vehicles or UAVs. Argos’s TAK/ATAK compatibility provides easy integration with Command-and-Control systems.
Argos can be used for military, public safety, and law enforcement applications. It has been selected as a finalist at the TechConnect World 2024 Counter-WMD Innovation Challenge.
