Marlborough Laser Firm Gets Army Contract
Marlborough-based Block MEMS has received an Army contract to enhance its LaserScan Analyzer product to recognize chemical warfare agents.
The Army Small Business Innovative Research Phase II Enhancement Contract comes on the heels of a commercialization pilot program the company received for LaserScan.
LaserScan is a spectrometer that uses quantum cascade lasers to detect and measure substances from a distance of six inches to two feet. Applications of the technology include detecting explosive materials and chemical and biological agents.
Block MEMS is affiliated with laser manufacturer Block Engineering LLC. The two companies share a headquarters in Marlborough and have a common ownership.
