you can't detect who that individual is. we aren't focused on collecting data of any sort. it's more about as a screening tool. >> reporter: a screening tool that he cautions is just the first step. >> thermal solutions for elevated body temperature are only one part of what needs to be a comprehensive environment health and safety program for these businesses. it doesn't detect fever. it doesn't detect coronavirus. we detect elevated body temperature. so it plays a critical role in that system, but is only one part. >> reporter: jericka duncan, new york. >> the u.s. military is on the front lines in this battle against the coronavirus, but it is also fighting behind the scenes. katherine heroin sho katheri katherine her herron shows us what's going on at darpa. >> reporter: one of the most mysterious agencies is hidden. you won't find any signs outside its headquarters in suburban, washington, d.c.
