Explosive Detection Technologies; Widely Used to Detect or Identify Explosive Materials
Explosive detection technologies are used for destructive
identification of explosive materials at airports, ports, railway stations, and
border control. Various types of explosive detection technologies are used to
detect explosive, such as Electromagnetic, Infrared, X-ray, and Others. Colorimetric
test kits are used for destructive identification of explosive materials, as it
is one of the simplest, established, and most widely used methods for the
detection of explosives. The various techniques used by explosive detection
experts are based on the specific threat that the device poses to public safety
and security.
Explosive detection equipment are of two types, such as bulk
detection and trace detection. Ion mobility spectrometry is commonly used to
detect signatures of explosive materials, especially at the United States
airports. Moreover, gas chromatography (GC) is used to detect, in order to
separate molecules before detection. Explosive detection technology finds its
applications in military and defense and critical infrastructure. Many types of
explosive
detection technologies are used for the detection or identification of
explosive materials. Such technologies have become an integral part of the
border patrol security and airport security.
Explosive detection is a non-destructive inspection process
used for identification of explosive materials. Bulk detection systems rely on
neutron imaging or X-ray to locate large quantities of explosive materials.
Bulk detection equipment includes any device or system that remotely senses
both chemical and physical properties of an object to detect the presence of
explosive material. Whereas trace detection involves chemical detection of
explosives by collecting and analyzing small amounts of explosive and looking
for residue or contamination from handling or being near explosive material.
Trace explosive-detectors are able to detect explosives of
small magnitude. Devices similar to explosives trace detectors are also used to
detect narcotics. The main advantage of explosive detection equipment is a
quick and operational easy search of objects, persons, and buildings by hand-
held detectors.
