Chemical Defense
The threats facing our nation are diverse and changing in ways that are not effectively addressed with existing products. Chemical hazards and threats can be comprised of common chemicals available to both rogue and state actors posing an asymmetric threat.
Our patented SPH™ chemical sensor technology can detect various threat classes from toxic industrial chemicals, chemical warfare agents, to industrial chemicals.
Smallest SWaP
Our wearable system has the industry-leading smallest SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) and allows for unhindered operation providing the greatest protection against a multitude of threats.
Software-Defined Detection
Our AI enabled sensing technology is capable of adapting to future threats and allows for detection capability upgrades.
Military and First-Responder Use Cases
Our wearable system is designed with both military and first-responder use in mind. The ChemBadge™ product line features ChemBadge™-MX and ChemBadge™-LT to address both use cases. Our wearable system is rugged, flexible and provides unmatched detection capabilities.
What are the Current Gaps?
Current chemical threat detection technologies and solutions are limited in detection capabilities, and often present difficult operational and maintenance challenges.
How Does The Solution Work?
High Density SPH™ Sensor Arrays
Our patented SPH™ chemical sensor array technology uses advanced microscale electronic sensing elements for detection of a large number of chemical threats.
Low SWaP Connected Wearable Systems
“Our family of wearable systems, ChemBadge™-MX and ChemBadge™-LT, features
the greatest operational flexibility with comprehensive chemical threat detection. Both ChemBadge™ systems are powered by SPH™ sensor arrays, support connectivity, feature a training mode, and remote alarm capabilities.
Multimodal Sensor Fusion
Our systems utilize multi-sensor array technology which can deconvolute complex environmental situations for accurate identification of threats.
Advanced Edge ML for Threat Detection
Our edge ML models are developed through years of operational and field testing to provide the most reliable detection capability. Power-efficient on-chip processing allows extended operation.
Technology Behind it
SPH™ Sensor Technology
Semiconductor-Photocatalytic Hybrid (SPH™) chemical sensor technology combines high-performance semiconductor transducers with nanoengineered photocatalytic functional layers. With such nanoengineered high-density sensor arrays on a chip, we can utilize machine learning algorithms to provide rich data about any environment.
High-Density Micromachined Chemical Sensor Arrays
Using SPH™ chemical sensor technology we can design and produce high-density chemical sensor arrays. Unique sensor array elements can be designed utilizing N5’s extensive materials library giving us the ability to effectively detect any chemical.
Efficient Edge-Processing for Threat Detection
N5 utilizes state-of-art low power edge machine learning models that are capable of detecting and identifying different classes of chemical threats in complex environments, while maintaining low false alarms.
Future- Proof Multi Threat Detection Capability
Combination of high-density chemical sensor arrays and advanced edge ML, we can enable new detection capabilities using algorithmic updates rather than requiring hardware and system reconfiguration.
