Abstract

The overall goal of ROCSAFE is to fundamentally change how CBRNe events are assessed, in order to and ensure the safety of crime scene investigators by reducing the need for them to enter high-risk scenes when they have to determine the nature of threats and gather forensics. For this, ROCSAFE will make use of cost-effective modern remotely-controlled robotic air and ground vehicles (RAVs/RGVs) that are designed for use in rain, wind, and challenging ground surfaces and obstacles.
CNR-IMM Bologna is involved in the development of gas sensing systems for RAVs and RGVs, based on micromachined analytical components for sample pre-concentration and gas-chromatographic separation.

Obiettivi

An improved MEMS-based sample pre-concentration system with self-limiting capabilities to avoid saturation and poisining will be deployed on the unmanned air vehicle platform, coupled to a multichannel dispersive IR analyzer.
For the unmanned robotic ground vehicle, a two-stage sample pre-concentration and gas-chromatographic separation module based on MEMS components will be developed, to be coupled to a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopic detector.
To reach these goals, innovative MEMS devices and micro-fluidic integration technologies will need to be developed.
