Explosives Detection
Improvised explosive devices are the weapon of choice for terrorist organizations. They are easy to make and hard to detect, especially if deployed on a person.
Bombs can be easily conceiled in a common object such as a nap-sack, trash can or car and they are easily triggered remotely.
Vapor trace detection technology from SpectraFluidics has the potential to detect and identify the ultra-low levels of explosive materials that might naturally be emitted by such devices. These could be deployed independently at natural choke points, or as part of a broader system combined with multiple sources of data to protect larger public areas.
