Product Briefs

Canary-One™ reports on the presence of nerve agents or blister agents in air every 20 seconds. The entry price for this chemical sensor system enables large-scale deployment for distributed chemical sensor networks. Its low mass makes it a superior solution for UAV and UGV payloads.

Canary-Two™ will report the names of the chemical weapons present. For instance if both sarin (GB) and soman (GD) are released then Canary-Two™ will report both chemicals and their relative concentrations. A full analysis of air samples takes about two minutes.

Canary-Three™ combines the fast alarm feature of Canary-One™ with the complete analysis capabilities of Canary-Two™. Not only will it tell you what is in the air, it automatically adjusts the collection time to fit the situation. At high concentrations, collection times are short to provide answers quickly.
Defiant's Canary-One™ — Rapid Chemical Screening

Defiant is accepting purchase orders for Canary-One™. Contact us to have Canary-One™ tailored for your sensor network or application.

Canary One Chemical Sensor Chemical Detector
The design incorporates a chemical preconcentrator and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) detector array. The chemical preconcentrator allows the detector to look for spikes in a specific time frame rather than a gradual change in the background.

Nerve agents and blister agents can be identified every 20 seconds.
 
Canary One Chemical Sensor Chemical Detector
Defiant's engineering prototype that was tested at Sandia National Lab under the lab's Small Business Technical Assistance Program or SBTAP. The gas module, next to the quarter, and the electronics board are all that are needed for UAV/UGV payloads and OEM applications.

Defiant's Canary-One™
  • Canary-One™ uses ambient air and no specialty gases for operation.
  • Canary-One™ has an analytical cycle time of twenty seconds and is capable of reporting calibrated analytes within the cycle. Shorter cycles can also be programmed.
  • Canary-One™ will run continuously for 4 hours on a nickel metal hydride battery
  • Canary-One™ can be used in handheld application or remotely. In remote applications (e.g. UAV, UGV, facility monitor) data is streamed through a serial port. The user can receive response data over time and/or chemical name and concentration via serial.
  • Package dimensions are 7-1/2"L x 5-1/16"W x 2-1/8".
  • Gas module can be used independently and is roughly the size of two nine volt batteries.
