| Challenge | Solution | Results |
| Device software that won’t fail under pressure. Individual units need to communicate with one another and other portable devices. Require a Commercial off the shelf solution (COTS). |
Wind River device software facilitates remote management and configuration of devices. Proven technology allows BAE to concentrate on implementing the features that make JCAD ChemSentry such a powerful tool without having to worry about the robustness of the underlying technology. Proven device software that works in the most extreme environments. |
BAE Systems has sold more than 270,000 ChemSentry devices to the U.S. Department of Defense and expects even greater sales. Provides real time detection of toxic chemicals for military and commercial use. |
