Lazy Man’s Atom Bomb

The Threat of Chemical Biological & Nuclear Weapons

Conventional warfare in current times is immemorial. When carrying out war now, there is no declaration of war, no fixed battlefield, no face-to-face fighting and killing, and in the majority of situations, there will be no gunpowder smoke, gun fire, and spilling of blood. It cannot be denied that Two lethal non-conventional warfare threats that haunt global security are Biological and Chemical weapons. These are artificial weapons whose immediate goal is to mass kill and destroy. In this sense, they are nothing more than non-traditional weapons whose mechanisms have been altered with lethal power and mass destruction of the human race.?

Lethal warfare agents are used :

·????????to end the war quickly

·????????highly efficient

·????????cheap and relatively easy to use

·????????extremely easy to disperse

·????????unpredictable and can create a massive amount of damage

From the Geneva Convention to the United Nations and the numerous treaties, nations have contracted with resolutions to prevent war. All these regulations are gradually becoming respected by each nation. But are the treaties prohibiting biological and chemical categorically in principle honored?

The controversial episodes of the Chinese ship Yin?China in 1993 to the coronavirus outbreak from Wuhan, notwithstanding Beijing, have provoked the US Army to bring the virus to their country. It is believed that CHINA has an advanced chemical warfare program that includes research and development, production, and weaponization capabilities. The contention is that Iran and North Korea have also socked the full range of traditional chemical agents in their respective armory. The American Counter-terrorism official has testified that Al – Qaeda intends to have an extensive repository of Chemical and biological weapons in Pakistan and Yemen. In, 2013 sarin gas attack killed over 1,400 civilians in Damascus. Ironically, Syria is part of the prohibitory Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997.

It can be confirmed that the act of terrorist is with even greater turbid currents which we do not know about surging under the water surface.

·????????A medical student in any Virology research lab can quickly develop and weaponize smallpox pathogen from the available stocks or develop a synthetic version.

·????????High-concentrated nerve agents can be released in centralized air conditioning.?

·????????Contagion can be mixed in the wind, aerosols, envelops or note papers, city water supplies, etc.

·????????Camouflaging accidental leakage.

Considering the terror and how accessible, cheap, and easy it is to prepare these Biological and Chemical weapons, developing a real-time, rapid, reliable, and highly sensitive detection system would be of great significance.

Real time Monitoirng Bio Terror and Chemical Agents.

The first step in preparing for neutralizing Bio-Terror, chemical agents, and nuclear emissions is to monitor in situ. It is vital to distinguish, determine and discriminate the type of threat with geospatial information. It is only then possible to lock the beast in a cage.

?An innovative photonic system?Air Unique-Quality Monitoring (AUM)?capable of real-time remote monitoring of various air parameters simultaneously to arrive at the in-situ air quality at a particular location or the spatial patterns (contours) of air quality covering a substantial Euclidian space - thus enabling eulerian as well as lagrangian measurements having multifarious advantages.

The uniqueness and novelty of AUM lie in its ability to innovatively apply the concepts of laser backscattering, artificial intelligence, and machine (deep) learning to identify, classify and quantify various air pollutants simultaneously.

??????AUM detects, identifies, quantifies, and continuously monitors concentration levels of the specified Chemical, Biological, Nuclear warfare agents, and Industrial toxins.

??????Hazard levels are indicated based on concentration.

??????The system can be user-configured to give an audible and a visual alarm when a substance is detected and includes the ability to silence the sounder.

??????By providing very low detection limits, short response times, the state of the art measuring, and highly sophisticated detection algorithms, highly toxic substances can be detected at the lowest levels of part per billion to part per trillion.

The area covered by AUM is 10mm to 5 Km in radius. The single unit can be rotated3600, can cover 78.5 sq. km, and thereby create Virtual dome on the crucial asset or establishment. As required, data from the air can be collected vertically and horizontally at a distance of every 10mm to 5km (range is not a constraint). The laser beam travels to the targeted area/source to detect.

In the shortest time, AUM can be calibrated for detecting Bio terrors like sarin, VX (S-[2-(diisopropylamino) ethyl]-O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate), anthrax, botulinum toxin, ricin etc. and Chemical agents like nerve gas, such as sarin, tabun, soman, agent X and VX.

The Lone wolf is free to attack

It’s a serious global concern that anytime and anywhere, such acts of Bio-Terror, Chemical exposures are aspired to kill millions. The world is unprepared with few countermeasures/antidotes to control or neutralize the attack. The proactive measures are essential:

·????????Medical facilities are required to gear up for such traumatic casualties and emergencies.

·????????Technologies like anti-scud missiles need to be innovated to combat Biological, Chemical, and Nuclear Threats.

·????????Antidotes need to be researched and made available at the mass level.

No one wishes to live in zones under the threat of hostile nations or terror-sponsored state. Every individual need to be vigilant and have right methods to counter such attacks.?
