Origins of Fido - DARPA Dog’s Nose Program
• Program to detect landmines• 12 teams selected including MIT, Tufts,
Caltech, Texas Instruments, Rockwell• Objective: match canine performance
• ICx Nomadics developed only successful sniffer system
• Developed and demonstrated Fido technology
• Proven comparable to dogs in side-by-side tests

Chain of Events Leading to IED Deployment
If detection occurs prior to IED deployment, the risk to the general population could be greatly reduced!

Urban Use Scenarios…
Find where the bad guys live or make devices Swipe Elevator Buttons
If positive, swipe buttons individually to find the floor
Then swipe door knobs on that floor to find the door knob or knobs
For positives, get a search warrant

yEffective Application of Fido
Trace-level detection of explosive residues on suspected terrorists and their personal effects
Suspicious item screening (rooms, backpacks, vehicles)
Covert investigation (cracks around doors and windows, items handled by suspicious individuals)
Ideal for integration onto robots due to small size, low power consumption and communications capabilities
Items that have come into contact with explosive handler can be swiped to identify presence of explosives.

No Explosives
Explosives
• Amplifying Fluorescent Polymers (AFP) are the detection principle of the Fido XT
• AFP materials fluoresce intensely in the absence of explosives materials
• Upon binding to target analytes, the fluorescence is quenched proportionally to the concentration of analyte in the sample
• The AFP is structured like Receptors wired in a series (see next slide)
Technology Background on Fido - AFP

AFP Technique

ute
or

y
Graphic Representation of AFP
The orange dots represent explosive molecules that bind to the AFP, the gray dots represent air and other benign molecules continuously flowing through the sensing element
As the explosives molecules are drawn through the sensing element, they bind to the AFP, resulting in a decrease in fluorescence within the sensing element (known as the “quenching effect”)The quenching effect is indicated
through both a visible (bar chart) and audible signal (similar to a Geiger counter’s output) to the operator. Discretion of the audible signal is possible with the use of ear buds.
This process is reversible – the Fido clears down quickly after a hit and is ready for additional sampling (note that the explosive molecules do remain bound to the polymer)

Important points about using AFP 1) sensitivity:
AFP enables detection of certain types of explosives at levels three orders of magnitude (1,000 times) below that of the most sensitive commercially-available laboratory instruments. The current sensor prototype can detect low femtogram masses of nitro-aromatic explosives such as TNT, and pg-ng levels of other explosives such as RDX and PETN.

Important points about using AFP
2) selectivity: Reduced false positives as we will not alarm on farmers handling
just fertilizer or people with heart medication 3) speed of results:
The Fido XT yields results in a matter of seconds versus longer sampling times for IMS devices (allows for higher throughput rates)
4) ability to verify initial results: After receiving a “hit” the Fido XT recovers in a matter of
seconds as the explosives are “flushed out” from the continuous air flow generated by the internal pump. Current IMS devices sometimes are down for 45 minutes to several hours after receiving a “hit”.
5) size and portability: Unlike IMS based devices which have to be a certain size, the
AFP based Fido XT is small enough to integrate with the majority of commercially available robotic systems, and also has the potential to integrate onto UAV platforms. The current payload weighs 13.5 oz, with room to decrease in size.
