M908 can be used as an emergency alert and initial survey<br />
tool for priority threat detection in vapor, solid and<br />
liquid form, from trace to bulk quantities, and render<br />
the scene safe from priority threats. This allows users<br />
more time when using Raman/FTIR tools (bulk solid<br />
and liquid detectors) to further interrogate samples for<br />
identification. Global departments of defense, civilian<br />
and military organizations, along with state, local,<br />
federal and foreign government agencies are currently<br />
using M908. To date, M908 has supported missions from<br />
drug interdiction to explosive threat detection within<br />
the past year. 908 Devices’ M908 and HPMS technology<br />
has been proven a success in the field by the Massachusetts<br />
State Hazmat Response Division, who purchased<br />
eight devices this year. <strong>The</strong> company has also been<br />
awarded contracts with the U.S. Army’s Next Generation<br />
Chemical Detector (NGCD) and Defense Threat Reduction<br />
Agency (DTRA) programs to create custom successors<br />
to M908 utilizing HPMS technology. In September<br />
2014, the team was awarded $2.6M in funding from the<br />
U.S government’s Technical Support Working Group<br />
(TSWG) to achieve even higher levels of selectivity and<br />
sensitivity with HPMS for field identification and detection<br />
of trace explosives.<br />
