Block Engineering: Porthos Portable Hazard Observation System

PORTHOS^TM (PORTable Hazard Observation System)

PORTHOS^TM (PORTable Hazard Observation System) is a small, lightweight, handheld or tripod mounted, highly sensitive multiple chemical agent detector and identification system. It works in the long wave IR (LWIR) spectral band, functions day or night, and is capable of either short or long term operation outdoors in civilian, police, or military environments.

Size: 16 x 7 x 7 inches
Weight: 14 pounds
Power: 43 Watt (steady state); 53 Watts during calibration (1% of time)

DETECTS AND IDENTIFIES DANGEROUS CHEMICAL VAPORS AT LONG DISTANCE

Detect many chemical vapors simultaneously, including:
- Chemical agents
- Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs)
Lightweight, tripod mounted, shoulder borne, or handheld.
Detection from 1m to 5km (3 miles)
- Highly sensitive & specific
Excellent false alarm performance
Minimal operator controls needed
- Point & Identify
