AATG · r-Guard™ Multi-Threat Detection Platform

Problems We Are Resolving

What current field detectors
cannot do — and we can.

Having worked in the threat detection field for close to 30 years, we understand the limitations operators live with daily. r-Guard™ was designed specifically to close every gap that current technology leaves open.

🚫

IMS — The Standard With Critical Limitations

Ion Mobility Spectrometry dominates field CWA detection — but its limitations are well documented. Poor spectral resolution and peak shifting lead to high false negative rates. Charge competition in mixed-vapor environments suppresses ionization of target agents, causing both nuisance false alarms and potentially fatal false negatives. Environmental changes, especially high humidity degrade performance precisely when reliability matters most. And the use of radioactive Ni-63 ionization source adds handling, transport, and disposal constraints that limit where and how it can be deployed.

⚡ r-Guard™:

Advanced AI deconvolution identifies specific agents in complex mixtures. No radioactive source. No charge competition failure mode. Spectroscopy-based identification precisely characterises detected components. Probabilistic confidence scores replace binary alarms, quantifying certainty for both identified agents and potential unknowns. Both false positive and false negative rates dramatically reduced.

🔴

Binary Output — Alarm or Silence, Nothing More

Most field detectors produce a threshold alarm — positive or negative, a compound class at best. They cannot quantify confidence, report concentration, or distinguish a strong interferent from a genuine threat. Some IMS systems do report specific names, but with significantly higher false identification rates in complex environments where charge competition produces incorrect identifications. In high-stakes scenarios, a wrong answer is as dangerous as no answer.

⚡ r-Guard™:

r-Guard™ outputs specific agent identification with probabilistic confidence scores — not just a class name. Concentration estimate and full inference chain provided. The operator knows not just "what" but "how certain."

🛠️

Unknown Threats Produce No Actionable Information

Every deployed detector only identifies what is already in its library. A novel synthetic agent, new precursor, or unknown toxic industrial chemical produces either a forced false match or silence. No molecular information reaches the operator. As adversarial chemistry evolves — novel CWA precursors, improvised materials, next-generation threats — this gap becomes increasingly critical. Adding a new substance requires a vendor update cycle measured in months.

⚡ r-Guard™:

r-Guard™ performs spectral fragment analysis — inferring probable functional groups, molecular desorption behavior from the thermal profile, and likely chemical class. Unknown alarms come with intelligence. New threats added via wireless OTA (Over-The-Air) update.

📏

Detection Blind Spots During Analysis Cycles

Traditional detection systems are effectively blind during their analysis cycle. GC-based instruments cannot monitor the air stream while processing a sample. IMS-based systems have maintenance windows where monitoring is interrupted. In a dynamic threat environment — a second release, a moving plume — a detection gap of even 30 seconds can be operationally decisive.

⚡ r-Guard™:

Continuous monitoring with no detection gaps. One sensor monitors continuously while the second is getting ready, either undergoing thermal purge or remaining idle. Sensor returns to monitoring within seconds of confirmation completion. The adaptive AI trigger primes the pre-concentrator silently during screening so confirmation is always instantly ready.

⛰️

Logistics Burden Limits Field Deployability

GC-MS-based confirmation instruments require compressed carrier gas cylinders, high-vacuum pumps, and significant electrical power. IMS units contain radioactive Ni-63 ionization sources subject to transport restrictions. These constraints make confirmation-capable instruments laboratory-bound or vehicle-mounted. For dismounted soldiers, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payloads, or resource-constrained first responders, field confirmation capability simply does not exist.

⚡ r-Guard™:

Tank-free. Source-free. Battery-powered. No compressed gas, no radioactive material, no vacuum pump. One replaceable air-scrubbing cartridge lasts hundreds of operating hours. Fits in a sling bag. Mounts on a UAV. Deploys anywhere.

⏳

Confirmation Is Slow & Requires a Second Instrument

When IMS alarms, the operator cannot confirm in the field. If verification is needed, it requires a separate GC-based instrument — laboratory or vehicle-mounted, requiring carrier gas, vacuum, and significant power. Analysis takes 5–15 minutes, during which exposure continues. The gap between "fast alarm" and "confirmed specific agent identification" has never been closed in a single portable instrument. Operators make decisions based on incomplete information or wait for results that arrive too late.

⚡ r-Guard™:

Screen and confirm in one device, on site. ~10 second screening. ~120 second full confirmation. No second instrument. No laboratory. No waiting. The decision cycle closes at the point of exposure — for the first time in a handheld package.

Performance Advantages

Seven capabilities no current
field detector offers.

Each directly addresses a documented limitation of current detectors, especially the most widely deployed IMS-based systems, and the confirmation gap that has never been closed in a single portable field instrument.

Low

Both false positive AND false negative rates reduced

Proprietary AI combined with optical identification outputs confidence scores, not binary alarms. Distinguishes target agents from interferents in complex mixtures. Charge competition — the primary IMS failure mode causing false negatives in mixed environments — does not apply to our detection principle.

IMS: high false positive AND false negative risk

ppb

Exceptional sensitivity (ppb to sub-ppb, pg to ng range) in real field conditions

Proprietary optical detection delivers exceptional sensitivity in a compact field instrument. Sensitivity maintained in humid, dusty, and chemically complex environments where IMS performance degrades significantly. Key for detecting high-volatility explosive vapors such as TATP, NG, and their precursors including acetone and hydrogen peroxide.

IMS sensitivity degrades with humidity & interferents

Screen AND confirm on site — one device

~10s screening and ~120s full agent confirmation in one handheld unit. Eliminates the confirmation gap that forces operators to choose between fast-but-unreliable or accurate-but-absent. No second instrument. No laboratory. No waiting.

IMS + GC-based instrument required today

⚗

Unknown compounds characterised — not just flagged

For compounds not in any library, r-Guard™ performs spectral fragment analysis analogous to mass spectrometry: characteristic peaks are mapped to molecular functional groups (organophosphate, C=O carbonyl, C-H, halide class). The thermal desorption temperature profile separate components. Together these allow the AI to infer probable chemical class and — in many cases — make a reasoned estimate of the specific compound, even without a library match. Unknown alarms come with actionable molecular intelligence, not silence.

Current detectors: unknown = silence or forced false match

Named

Specific agent ID with confidence — not just a class

Some IMS systems report specific agent names, but with significantly higher false identification rates in complex environments where charge competition produces incorrect results. r-Guard™ identifies individual molecules with spectroscopic precision, providing the specific agent name alongside a calibrated confidence score and full inference chain the operator can evaluate.

IMS: class-level or unreliable specific ID

No radioactive source, carrier gas, or vacuum pump

No Ni-63 ionization source — no radioactive handling, transport restrictions, or disposal. No compressed gas cylinders. No high-vacuum pump. One replaceable air-scrubbing cartridge used to clean the system when needed is the only consumable, lasting hundreds of operational hours.

IMS: Ni-63 source. GC-based: carrier gas + vacuum

OTA

New threats added as wireless OTA (Over-The-Air) software update

New AI models and spectral libraries pushed wirelessly to all deployed devices simultaneously. As novel agents, precursors, and emerging threats appear, the entire sensor fleet is updated at software speed — no hardware recalls, no field modifications, no vendor update cycle measured in months.

Current systems: vendor hardware update required

Operating Modes

Always watching.
Instantly ready to confirm.

Two adaptive modes run in concert — continuous monitoring transitions seamlessly to active high-resolution confirmation without user intervention.

● Screening Mode — Continuous

Continuous Monitoring

Ambient air flows continuously through the detection sensor. The AI model monitors the real-time detection stream at low power, establishing a dynamic baseline. Provides fast alarming for high-concentration threats with minimal latency.

1

Low-power continuous airflowMicro-pump draws ambient air through the sensor continuously at low flow rate. Battery-conserving baseline operation.
2

AI real-time continuous monitoringProprietary AI model monitors every detection cycle (~10 second cycle). Atmospheric reference peaks provide internal calibration standard — no external reference gas needed.
3

Pre-concentrator silently loadingAirflow passes through the adsorber while its temperature is ramping to release adsorbed components. Preconcentrated components are injected to the sensor and identified and quantified.
4

Instant high-concentration alarmLethal-concentration threats detected in <1 second. UI transitions to Yellow (suspicious) or Red (confirmed threat) state.

▲ Confirmation Mode — AI + User Triggered

High-Resolution Active Analysis

Triggered automatically when the AI detects a 1σ/2σ deviation, or manually by the operator. Pre-concentrator desorbs via temperature ramp. AI inference engine runs full multi-variate analysis. Result in ~120 seconds.

1

Pump ramp to high-forceAirflow increases for maximum molecule throughput through the sensor. AI model continues monitoring on Sensor B while Sensor A enters confirmation.
2

Controlled thermal desorptionPre-concentrator ramps temperature progressively. CWAs and interferences release by boiling point class — interferents first, agents later. Multi-dimensional data set (spectral intensity × optical signature × desorption temperature) generated.
3

AI multi-variate analysisInference engine fuses optical + thermal metadata. Physics-informed constraints prevent false identification. Confidence intervals computed for each candidate agent.
4

Result + thermal purgeAgent identity, concentration estimate, and confidence score displayed. Sensor thermally purged with dry scrubbed air. System returns to Screening Mode.

🏴

The Adaptive Trigger — Context-Aware Sampling

When the AI model detects a 1σ deviation — before any peak is identified — the system silently ramps the pump, increases detector integration time, and primes the pre-concentrator. This “pre-discovery” state maximises data collection during the critical window between “something is present” and “agent confirmed,” without triggering a false alarm. Confirmation is only declared at ≥4σ confidence. This approach doubles effective battery life compared to continuous high-force operation, while ensuring no trace event is missed.

Connectivity & Edge Processing

On-board NPU provides full offline capability for life-safety alarming. Bluetooth/Wi-Fi bridge optional for data logging, remote monitoring, and cloud forensic library access when connectivity is available. No network dependency for core function.

🔬

Expansion Path — Optional Fast GC Module

For applications requiring the highest confidence identification — forensic documentation, post-incident analysis, or laboratory use — r-Guard™ accepts an optional fast micro-GC module. Resistive or inductive heating eliminates column warm-up time while maintaining the compact footprint. This transforms the same device into a GC-level analytical instrument without replacing the core sensor and without adding compressed carrier gas requirements. The AI deconvolution layer continues to operate alongside physical separation, combining both for maximum identification confidence and the verification expected for legal or forensic-grade results.

The Science Behind r-Guard™

How we achieve what
others cannot.

r-Guard™ overcomes the fundamental sensitivity and selectivity limitations of conventional field detectors through a proprietary multi-layer approach — each layer solving a specific failure mode.

Layer 1 — Physical Detection

Proprietary Optical Detection

Our proprietary optical detection platform achieves exceptional sensitivity that conventional portable detectors cannot match — delivering ppb to sub-ppb, pg to ng range detection in a compact field instrument.

→ Exceptional sensitivity (ppb to sub-ppb, pg to ng range)
→ Proprietary instrument configuration — IP protected
→ Compact modular sensor assembly — fully portable
→ Enclosed optical path — Class 1 safety profile
→ Cartridge-style sensor module — 30-second swap in dirty environments

Layer 2 — Sample Preparation

Controlled Thermal Separation

A solid-state pre-concentrator accumulates the sample stream in parallel with continuous monitoring. When analysis is triggered, a controlled temperature ramp releases compounds by volatility class — lighter interferents first, heavier threat agents later. This provides physical temporal separation without GC columns, carrier gases, or complex fluidics.

→ Temperature ramp separates by volatility class
→ Background interferents released before CWA agents
→ No carrier gas — ambient air scrubbing only
→ Provides multi-dimensional data set: intensity × optical signature × temperature
→ Pre-concentrator silently loads during screening mode

Layer 3 — AI Inference

Proprietary AI Inference Engine

A hybrid proprietary AI engine performs real-time analysis. A fast anomaly-detection model monitors continuously for deviations. A full inference engine performs agent identification during confirmation — providing probabilistic confidence scores, unknown compound attribution, and physics-informed reasoning rather than black-box pattern matching.

→ Real-time anomaly detection for 1σ/2σ triggering
→ Probabilistic inference for calibrated agent identification
→ Physics-informed constraints — grounded in known signatures of target agents
→ Fuses optical + thermal metadata for multi-dimensional analysis
→ Cloud-updatable library — new threats added as software

Near-Term — Same Hardware, Software & Accessory Updates

In Development

🧻 Surface Contamination — Wipe & Desorb

A thermal desorber accessory accepts wipe samples from surfaces. The desorbed vapor flows directly into the r-Guard™ sensor, enabling surface contamination screening for CWA residues, explosive transfer, and toxic industrial spills — extending the platform from air monitoring to forensic surface analysis without additional core hardware.

Planned

💥 Expanded Explosive Library

TATP (and TATP precursors, i.e. acetone, hydrogen peroxide), NG, are high-volatility compounds within r-Guard™ detection range. Acetone and peroxide — commonly used in TATP synthesis — serve as precursor indicators. Library expansion delivered as OTA software update. No hardware change required.

Planned

🏭 Extended TIC Library

Expanded library covering 200+ toxic industrial chemicals across ammonia, chlorine, phosgene, HCN, and industrial solvent classes. Supports fixed-site and mobile monitoring for chemical plant incidents, rail hazmat, and environmental contamination events. OTA library update only.

🛡️ Narcotics & Synthetic Opioid Detection

Fentanyl and novel synthetic opioid analogs at ppb levels — a critical officer safety and border interdiction need. AI functional group inference handles novel analogs even without a specific library match. Same hardware; narcotics sorbent cartridge and OTA library update required.

Roadmap

🏭 Environmental & Pharmaceutical Monitoring

The vapor detection platform extends to industrial environmental compliance and pharmaceutical manufacturing cleaning validation — detecting residual API and solvent contamination. Aligns with AATG’s existing r-Pharm™ platform for pharmaceutical applications.

Long-Term — Medical & Clinical Applications
