PBS Program Name:
DoD 21/22 Defence Science and Technology
Grant Program:
National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grants
Grant Activity:
Detection of contraband narcotics
Purpose:
This project aims to develop a fluorescence-based sensor for trace detection of contraband narcotics and illicit drugs. A compact and low-power sensor would provide a step change in the methods and protocols used for their detection. Expected outcomes include detection design rules and materials for the sensitive, selective and rapid trace sensing of contraband narcotics. The best performing materials will be incorporated into a prototype handheld detector suitable for evaluation in the field and demonstration to potential end users. The information provided by trace detection and its rapid nature will lead to enhanced safety for border security, law enforcement, defence, and healthcare personnel, and the wider community.
