Project budget: 600.000 RON
Main domain: Information and communication technology, space and security
About project
The project aims to obtain a new adaptive mobile system for mixing and dispersing a new innovative colloidal solution based on an organic decontamination matrix combined with several types of nanoparticles, which will be used for chemical, biological and radiological (RBC) decontamination of the surfaces of various technical equipment, vehicles, and terrain.
The project starts from a decontamination solution (DS) developed as experimental model (TRL2) proved to be an effective DS for the decontamination of radiological agents (Am, Sr-I, Cs radionuclides), used for operationally decontamination of techniques, vehicles and terrain. The existing decontamination solution (DS) tested and validated on radiological agents will be upgrade and make it suitable for chemical and biological warfare agents (C/BWAs) decontamination.
The novelty consists in introducing the nanoparticles (NPs) and functionalized NPs with high efficiency against RBC, into DS matrix existing and make it behave like a singular colloidal complex. The new innovative colloidal solution (Nanodec) obtained will be tested at the beginning on simulants and further on real CWAs and BWAs decontamination. Another objective consists in development and realizing an adaptive mobile system for mixing and dispersion the Nanodec RBC, equipped with flow command – control software.
The demonstration model (TRL4) will be a complex integrated system which will be designed, developed, tested on real WAs and validated its functionality. In order to meet the project goals a consortium of 3 partners with complementary facilities was constituted: 1 National R&D Institute for Microtechnologies (IMT Bucharest/CO);
1 research centre - Scientific Research Centre for CBRN Defence and Ecology (CBRNDESRC/P1 ) and a university - Military Tehnical Academy (ATM/P2).
