JMAR Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: JMAR), a leading innovator in the development and commercialization of sensing systems for the detection of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) materials, today announced that it has been selected for the U.S. Army Commercialization Pilot Program (CPP) to create market-ready products based on its double-pulsed laser system for stand-off hazard detection.

JMAR was chosen to receive the CPP contract based on successful completion of the Phase II development of its unique double-pulse Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology. JMAR was one of 25 companies selected for the CPP program. Participation in the program is limited to technologies that have the potential for rapid transition into the acquisition process. Additionally, each project must have the potential for private-sector commercial use that offers a significant financial return.

Employing double pulse (DP) capability, DP-LIBS allows the detection and identification of very small traces of hazardous materials such as explosives and drugs at distances of 30 meters or more. The technology has a wide range of potential applications, from the military and homeland security to the civilian marketplace, where it can be deployed for explosive detection, drug interdiction, environment hazard analysis, materials identification, geology and geochemistry.

“We are very pleased to have the Army’s support in accelerating the commercialization of JMAR’s remote detection system,” said James Winso, JMAR’s VP of System Development Programs. “Our achievement in being selected for a slot in the CPP program verifies the appeal of our DP-LIBS technology and its wide potential for commercial, military and security applications. This selection puts us on a fast track from the lab to the field, where we will address urgent requirements for safe, stand-off hazard detection.”
