“If something doesn’t smell right, the army wants to know about it.”
Biosensors and innovative technology aimed to distinguish the olfactory make-up of a particular scene is becoming a desired commodity, funding a wide range of detection devices and chemical readers.
But what would happen if we began with activating our own olfactory awareness during an active training curriculum? The food industry, well immersed in the art of the sommelier, knows the incredible power held within the nuances and experiences driven by the smells activated by cheese, wine or gourmet foods and make it a point to define and articulate the differences.
But the smell of military training and simulation is a different subject matter, entirely.
Detecting the wide range of emotion within the human pheromone and hormonal scheme or the nuances within the chemical make-up of various IEDs might be a daunting task without various kinds of technology able to identify the levels of smell aimed to damage. However, a heightened awareness of smell stimulations might give trained militia forces an advantage well before complicated and expensive technologies are available.
There is something extremely powerful in administering smell awareness.
