Counterproliferation Sensors
Volume 25, Number 1 (January–March 2004)

APL is making significant contributions to homeland defense against assymmetric attack, especially in the area of counter-bioterrorism. Systems engineering practice is helping to marry traditional microbiology with advances in sampling, sensor surveillance, and signal processing.
