SNIFFER Sensory Devices Network for Food Supply Chain
Projects ndash SNIFFER
Design and development of a network of distributed detection devices capable
of rapid on-site detection of multiple kinds of CBR agents with high sensitivity
and specificity throughout the most vulnerable stages of the food supply chain
Main Objectives
bull Develop a novel sensor device
(MIPs technology)
bull Integrate commercially sensor
devices in the envisioned sensor
network
bull Identify most dangerous CBR
substances and a suitable
contingency plan
bull Validate the developed system
Direccedilatildeo-Geral de Armamento e Infraestruturas de Defesa

TURTLE Project Objectives
bull Development of key technologies for sustainable and long-term presence in the
deep ocean
bull High performance structures capable of dealing with mechanical pressure with
lower manufacturing costs
bull New energy efficiency technologies for descent and ascent to be incorporated
into robotic vehicles
bull A demonstrator to validate the robotic transport solution (of a fixed mobile
system) for deep sea monitoring
60 of the budget (12Meuro) came from European Structural Funds - QREN
(Turtle project was institutionally supported by the PRT MOD and EDA)

SNIFFER Sensory Devices Network for Food Supply Chain
Projects ndash SNIFFER
Design and development of a network of distributed detection devices capable
of rapid on-site detection of multiple kinds of CBR agents with high sensitivity
and specificity throughout the most vulnerable stages of the food supply chain
Main Objectives
bull Develop a novel sensor device
(MIPs technology)
bull Integrate commercially sensor
devices in the envisioned sensor
network
bull Identify most dangerous CBR
substances and a suitable
contingency plan
bull Validate the developed system

TURTLE Project Objectives
bull Development of key technologies for sustainable and long-term presence in the
deep ocean
bull High performance structures capable of dealing with mechanical pressure with
lower manufacturing costs
bull New energy efficiency technologies for descent and ascent to be incorporated
into robotic vehicles
bull A demonstrator to validate the robotic transport solution (of a fixed mobile
system) for deep sea monitoring
60 of the budget (12Meuro) came from European Structural Funds - QREN

SNIFFER Sensory Devices Network for Food Supply Chain
Projects ndash SNIFFER
Design and development of a network of distributed detection devices capable
of rapid on-site detection of multiple kinds of CBR agents with high sensitivity
and specificity throughout the most vulnerable stages of the food supply chain
Main Objectives
bull Develop a novel sensor device
(MIPs technology)
bull Integrate commercially sensor
devices in the envisioned sensor
network
bull Identify most dangerous CBR
substances and a suitable
contingency plan
bull Validate the developed system

TURTLE Project Objectives
bull Development of key technologies for sustainable and long-term presence in the
deep ocean
bull High performance structures capable of dealing with mechanical pressure with
lower manufacturing costs
bull New energy efficiency technologies for descent and ascent to be incorporated
into robotic vehicles
bull A demonstrator to validate the robotic transport solution (of a fixed mobile
system) for deep sea monitoring
60 of the budget (12Meuro) came from European Structural Funds - QREN
