Responders are requested to provide:

1. Description of radar system(s) that have been or could be utilized to detect or discount a chemical / biological RAM threat including relevant parameters that enable detection such as: • Waveforms used • Frequency band • Bandwidth • Dwell time • Etc.  2. Algorithms that have been developed or concepts to identify that a RAM target is a chemical / biological threat or an HE round for radar systems  3. Any data to support claims identifying the threat type as C/B or HE  4. Any of the above as related to a UAS-delivered chemical or biological threat 5. Any of the above as relevant to an aircraft-released (i.e. crop duster) chemical or biological threat
