TROY – JADI Inc. has received $2 million in federal research funding for the research and development of a portable chemical and biological detection sensor system for autonomous vehicles and individual soldiers.
The company said there’s great value in real-time detection of any suspected explosive, biological or chemical agents by individual soldiers, semi-autonomous and autonomous robot vehicles. JADI vice president Jerry Atkinson, in a news released posted at the Automation Alley web site, said the company was grateful for the support of Senator Carl Levin and Senator Debbie Stabenow, (D-Michigan), for their support in landing the appropriation.
JADI supports the research and development needs of the United States Army’s Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center in Warren and the Defense Department’s Joint Robotics Program. It’s also part of Oakland University’s SmartZone Business Incubator and the Automation Alley SmartZone.
