20 ADIS IPT, Sept 2008: CATSI EDM Results CATSI EDM exceeded the test requirement 3.7 km ejection point (300 mm lens) 5 km ejection point (900 mm lens) 3.7km 104 test events Probability of detection: > 80% at 95% confidence 5 km 99 test events Probability of detection: > 80% at 95% confidence

21 Complementary Activity - From 20 Jan to 12 March 2010 the two CATSI EDM were deployed at the Vancouver Olympic Game (Op PODIUM)

22 Summary Years of research at DRDC Valcartier lead to the development of a field instrument, CATSI EDM CATSI EDM searches for contaminant signatures and autonomously raises alarms CATSI EDM successfully completed testing exceeding a probability of D&I of 80% with a 95% confidence requirement. CATSI EDM is TRL 8 Questions?
