Abstract
The findings presented in this paper are a result of unclassified literature research of different types of biosensors within a larger context of biological warfare. This paper discusses different technologies being used in designing more efficient biosensors for the U.S. Navy that adequately match the requirements of variable military environments. Finally, this paper discusses the vital requirements of measurement and calibration techniques of these sensors to maintain accuracy and safety for our warfighters. Based on unclassified research, biological agents’ use in biological warfare is a burgeoning stratagem in a new world of rogue terrorist organizations. The Navy must have an effective response protocol involving biosensor technology to have a secure future at home and abroad.
