Slingshot PDG Designs New Bomb Detector for War on Terrorism
One
of the latest weapons in the war on terrorism designed and developed by
Slingshot Product Development was unveiled on August 2 in Duluth GA.
"Slingshot
Product Development Group designed and developed a hand-held chemical
and explosives detection "sniffer" device for Isonics Homeland Security
& Defense Corporation, using IMS technology (ion mobility
spectrometry), that can detect in the air miniscule amounts of chemical
toxins and both homemade or weapons grade explosives. The programmable
device recognizes up to 60 substances such as sarin nerve gas or
mustard gas, even at low levels.
Slingshot's team of designers
and engineers collaborated with the Isonics team to develop the
technology from the science stage into a groundbreaking product.
Slingshot led the entire process, including brainstorming,
conceptualization, form development, ergonomics, prototyping,
engineering, manufacturing coordination, and a complete redesign of the
core electronics. Slingshot converted the experimental lab bench
technology into a product that was ready for manufacturing and meets
the needs of the market."
