New Development Offers Non-Destructive Explosive Detection

The non-destructive detection of explosives is necessary to assure safety and security. It is essential for criminal investigations, minefield remediation, military applications, ammunition remediation sites, security applications, etc. Chemical sensors play a vital role in such

New Technology for Safe Training of Detection Dogs 

Trained dogs are incredible chemical sensors, far better at detecting explosives, narcotics and other substances than even the most advanced technological device. But training them with real hazardous substances can be inconvenient and dangerous. NIST scientists have been working to solve this

#India's #DRDO, #IISc Develop New RaIDer-X Explosive Detection Device.

India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore unveiled the new RaIDer-X explosive detection device at the National Workshop on Explosive Detection (NWED-2020) in Pune on Mar. 1.

RaIDer-X has the capability to detect explosives from a stand-off distance. The data library can be built in the system to expand its capability to detect a…

Identify Bomb Making Materials in just 30 seconds

Soon, bomb making materials will be identified in just 30 seconds. A method to scan for and identify a wide range of bomb-making materials has been developed by researchers at the UK University of Surrey. The chemical fingerprinting technology requires the swabbing of materials, which can then be

Multi-Purpose UGV Available For Variety of Missions

A mini, multi-purposed UGV has been designed and is ready for use by armed forces, police forces, and fire fighting forces around the world. Designed by Nexter Robotics, the NERVA LG is a configurable UGV designed for a variety of roles including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and

AI Tech to Inspect Your Vehicle

A groundbreaking under vehicle inspection for explosives and early warning system under development will improve security through artificial intelligence technology.  Synthetik Applied Technologies has been awarded a $1Million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science

Improvement in Naval Mine Detection Capabilities

The AN/AQS-20A mine hunting and identification system is equipped with acoustic and identification sensors housed in an underwater towed body. The acoustic sensors detect, classify, and pinpoint bottom, close-tethered, and volume enemy mines. The system uses imaging sonars, signal processing, and

Revolutionary Explosive Sensor Under Development

The development of sensors for explosives such as TNT is of huge interest. TNT is an explosive material widely used for military, industrial, and mining applications. Its reduction products are known to be toxic and carcinogenic to humans and may contaminate and accumulate in soils and drinking
