EXPLOSIVE SCREENING

Explosive Screening systems are designed to detect and identify explosive substances and related materials during security inspections. These technologies support frontline personnel by providing fast, reliable analysis of suspicious items, surfaces, or residues without disrupting operations or handling procedures.

Explosive screening is typically applied as a targeted inspection step, either during secondary screening or as part of a layered security process. The systems are used to support decision making in environments where the presence of explosive materials represents a serious safety and security risk.
 

EXPLOSIVE SCREENING

Operational Capability Overview

Purpose, Application, and Risk Environment

Purpose: Explosive Screening systems are deployed to support the detection and identification of explosive substances during security inspections where visual checks or imaging alone are insufficient. The objective is to enable informed decisions while minimizing exposure and disruption.

Application Environments: These systems are used at airports, border checkpoints, government facilities, critical infrastructure sites, mailrooms, and other security sensitive locations where suspicious items or residues must be assessed quickly.

Operational Risk Context:  Explosive threats may be concealed within objects, carried on persons, or introduced through parcels and cargo. Manual inspection increases risk and uncertainty. Explosive screening technologies provide a controlled method to assess potential threats while supporting consistent operational workflows.

Functional Capability Overview

1. Detection of Explosive Substances 

Supports identification of explosive materials and related compounds during security screening procedures.

2. Non-Intrusive and Controlled Analysis 

Allows analysis of items, samples, or residues without opening containers or introducing unnecessary handling risks.

3. Rapid On Site Decision Support 

Delivers results quickly to support immediate operational decisions and escalation when required.

4. Integration into Layered Screening Processes 

Designed to complement imaging, trace detection, and physical screening as part of a broader security concept.

5. Portable and Flexible Deployment 

Supports use in fixed locations or mobile screening scenarios depending on operational needs.

Technical Overview

TECHNOLOGY CLASSES WITHIN EXPLOSIVE SCREENING

Explosive Screening systems generally fall into several technology classes. These are not tied to specific products, but describe common approaches used to identify explosive materials during security operations.

Trace Detection Systems

Technologies used to detect trace amounts of explosive residues on surfaces, objects, or samples.

Material Identification Systems

Analytical systems designed to identify chemical composition and classify substances suspected of containing explosive materials.

Portable Explosive Screening Devices

Compact systems suitable for on-site and mobile deployment during inspections, checkpoints, or secondary screening.
