Homeland Security

Large-scale sensor networks for chemical detection

From missile defense shields to border control, homeland defense has taken center stage. Vigilance is the watchword. However, in a land so grand and a culture so free, vigilance is no small task to achieve.

Technology is playing a vital role in our effort. With sensor networks along the borders, facial recognition software in our ports and biometrics going into our passports, we are seeking to secure our shores. Networks of sensors will watch our skies, breathe our air and test our water for signs of danger from without and within.

Distributed Instruments' servers provide the means to integrate this vast amount of data in real time, providing a complete and accurate view of our homeland and making that data available to the first responders.
