Abstract:
1. A multipurpose sensing module for a multipurpose early warning security system for a cargo transport container, said multipurpose sensing module comprising at least one circuit board, at least one power supply, a housing, a plurality of sensors for sensing a plurality of parameters, a means for communicating, a means for activating, a means for identification, a means for alerting, a switching module and a means for signaling, said plurality of sensors consisting of at least one sensor capable of detecting a presence of live humans, at least one sensor capable of detecting a biological hazard, at least one sensor capable of detecting a chemical hazard, and at least one sensor capable of detecting radioactive material thus constituting a means for detection of environmental hazards, weapons or personnel, wherein each particular sensor of said plurality of sensors independently performs a different function and has an initial state that outputs a null signal indicating absence of a sampling parameter associated with said particular sensor of said plurality of sensors and wherein said means for detection outputs a positive signal indicating presence of said sampling parameter for said particular sensor, said means for communicating transmitting data to at least one remote station, said at least one remote station providing information gathered by said multipurpose sensing module to a data processing center through a satellite communications system, said data processing center distributing said information to end users through an end user communications system.
