Remote Sensor Nodes

For Wide-Area CBRN Monitoring


Remote Sensor Node schematic

CBRN International’s Remote Sensor Node is a portable, networkable CBRN monitoring device suitable for the detection of toxic gases, aerosolized biological agents, and nuclear materials. It is designed for use in wide-area, open-air environments wherever security is a concern.

Data gathered by an RSN unit can be wirelessly transmitted to a remote local receiver positioned up to 2 km away. Collected data from multiple nodes may be transferred to a headquarters location 50-70km distant using commercial RF digital transceivers. ASAP™ Sentry monitoring software analyzes GPS and weather data to predict the movement of toxic fumes.

The biological sensor, gas and radiation detectors are mounted within its tough cylindrical aluminum shell of 20 cm diameter and 1 meter height. Other sensors, such as video or thermal IR cameras, can be connected to the node via wireless.  A built-in tripod is used to position the unit. Alternatively, it may be secured to an adjacent structure using locking rings built into the exterior surface. Due to its portability, anti-theft features have been incorporated similar to those used for automobiles.


Wide-Area CBRN Monitoring

When Public Safety is at Stake

Urban areas, stadiums, and large public gatherings are vulnerable to CBRN attacks. An RSN network rapidly detects a wide range of threats.

Know What's Happening – and Where It's Going

Data from RSN units can be overlaid real-time onto a map of the local area for predicting toxic plume concentrations and movement.

Connectivity and Communication

Up to 64 nodes can be networked together, transmitting data to remote receiver up to 2 km distant. Collected data can be forwarded 50-70 km with RF digital transceivers.
