As a result of climate change and other factors, it is becoming increasingly important to properly assess outdoor air quality and accurately pinpoint the sources causing any deterioration at a given time and be able to do so rapidly. In addition to enabling a healthier lifestyle for all, this is an essential public safety service that national, state and local governments world-wide are beginning to emphasize.
"This award recognizes the fundamental building block technologies that Interlink has built over the years, and enables us to develop accurate, low-power, low-cost and widely deployable OAQ nodes that provide reliable, high-density AQ data for interfacing with NASA's Remote Sensing Network," said Dr. Sreeni Rao, Vice President of Product Management at Interlink Electronics. "Ultimately, we envision delivering a validated prototype solution that integrates gas sensor hardware with in-house developed compensation techniques and algorithms that enable seamless use of hyper-local real-time AQ data in models based on NASA satellite observations."
"Our mission is to deliver high-performing cost-competitive sensing solutions incorporating Interlink's outstanding gas sensors with advanced software support," added Steven N. Bronson, Interlink's CEO and President. "This award continues our history of qualifying for SBIR grants, and we are also pleased to note that NASA recognized the superior scientific and engineering backgrounds and talents of the Interlink team."
