Charlotte NC (SPX) Aug 17, 2005 The U.S. Army Research Laboratory has awarded Goodrich a $3 million, one-year research and development contract for the fabrication of a specialized spectrometer with the potential to differentiate the terahertz (THz) signatures of hazardous substances, including explosives and chemical and biological agents. This project will be conducted by the company's Electro- Optical Systems business in Danbury, Conn. According to Goodrich's Electro-Optical Systems Vice President and General Manager, David Olson, "We believe that our application of THz technologies could provide a major breakthrough in detection and identification of hazardous substances for defense applications. "Our work will further the application of terahertz spectroscopy and transmitters to meet stringent field requirements and applications. This new contract will enable Goodrich to continue its tradition of providing advanced force protection and survivability equipment to the U.S. Armed Forces and our allies."
