Sandia, Lawrence Livermore, and Los Alamos national laboratories have teamed up to build a prototype for sustainable, urban biosurveillance and response systems. The prototype, the Bio Defense Initiative Testbed, was supported by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the Department of Energy's Chemical and Biological National Security Program.
The team developed an innovative airport surveillance architecture that uses wireless intelligent modules, early warning detectors, and bioaerosol detectors; led the task to unify the independent systems and local infrastructure; incorporated the Rapid Syndrome Validation Project (RSVP™), an early warning system for infectious disease; and conducted advanced architecture studies.
