United Defense Installs First WaterSentry Security Alert System for Commercial and Military Use

Business Wire
United Defense Industries, Inc. (NYSE:UDI), along with Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, has completed the first commercial and
military installations of the WaterSentry(TM) monitoring system at
facilities in Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee.
WaterSentry(TM) is the first product to automatically and
continuously test for chemical toxins that have been introduced
into water supplies. It is a fully automated system that
continuously tests algae activity. Within minutes, the system can
detect the presence of a chemical contaminant and provide an
immediate alert to a remotely located control station.
"WaterSentry(TM) is a new approach to quickly detect toxic
chemicals in large-scale, primary- source drinking water supplies
for homeland security and regulatory use. We believe it to be the
only water sensor of its kind. It is fully automated, easily
maintained, and reduces the need for personnel to go to sites to
manually test water," said Steve McCarter, Manager Business
Development/Security Systems for United Defense. "The installation
of WaterSentry(TM) will help secure the source of drinking water
for millions of households. WaterSentry is always on the alert,
warning of potential problems that can be minimized with early
intervention." United Defense integrated Oak Ridge National
Laboratory's (ORNL) AquaSentinel technology into WaterSentry under
an exclusive license. The system employs ORNL technology to
continuously and automatically test for chemical toxins by
measuring algae fluorescence. The Department of Energy's (DOE)
Basic Energy Sciences program funded the basic research on
photochemistry before the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
funded the initial application as biosensors. Development of
WaterSentry and the integration of ORNL's AquaSentinel technology
was funded by United Defense through DOE's Work for Others program.
