Long‑Range Stand‑Off Chemical Detector Extended

FALCON 4G Extended (CHEM EXT) is the higher‑sensitivity configuration of the Falcon platform. It increases laser energy and spectral lines, unlocking greater sensitivity and extended range to up to 6 km with an expert detection mode for demanding missions.

What’s enhanced vs standard

• Laser energy: 70 mJ (Extended) vs 50 mJ (Standard CHEM).
• Spectral lines: 71 (Extended) vs 60 (Standard CHEM).
• Maximum range: Up to 6 km (Extended) vs up to 5 km (Standard CHEM).
• Detection mode: Expert (Extended) vs Normal (Standard CHEM).

Why teams choose the Extended pack

• Sensitivity headroom for low‑vapour or long‑range scenarios
• Greater spectral coverage (additional lines) to improve selectivity/ID
• Maintains platform advantages: Class 1 eye safety, no calibration, range‑to‑cloud, harsh‑environment performance.

Key specifications

• Principle: Active DIAL (pulsed CO₂ lasers)
• Max laser energy: 70 mJ; spectral lines: 71
• Range: Up to 6 km (mission dependent)
• Mounting: vehicle/vessel/air/structure/tripod as per base platform.

Typical applications

• Wide‑area surveillance and long‑stand‑off perimeter monitoring
• Low‑concentration plumes, early detection tasks
• Missions demanding higher confidence at range (e.g., maritime approach lanes, remote border sectors).
