Carbon Monoxide Detector For Aviation Oxygen Systems Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Topic No.: N122-120 Topic Title: Carbon Monoxide Detector For Aviation Oxygen Systems Proposal No.: N122-120-0550 Firm: Agiltron Corporation 15 Presidential Way Woburn, Massachusetts 01801-1040 Contact: Anton Greenwald Phone: (781) 935-1200 Web Site: http://www.agiltron.com Abstract: Agiltron Inc. proposes to develop a compact, sensitive, and selective tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) based multi-gas sensor for OBOGS breathing oxygen monitoring. In the proposed research, novel laser diodes that output wavelength tunable from 2000 nm to 3500 nm will be used to dramatically increase the number of gases that can be detected and improve the sensitivity achievable using a compact platform. In combination with the proven technology of robust ultra-compact multipass optical cell and flight-ready electronics, this innovation will result in a multi-gas sensor that meets the performance specification and integration requirements for aircraft integration. Benefits: The proposed multi-gas detector will ensure the health of OBOGS breathing oxygen and thus reduce hypoxia and other illness for aircraft pilot and crew. In addition to DOD applications, the detector can be used on the OBOGS systems of commercial and civil aircrafts. Additionally, it can be used to verify the quality of oxygen produced by point of-use oxygen generators used for ground operations, mobile hospitals, emergency response vehicles, and mass casualty response systems.
