Research abstract
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) threaten US forces as they conduct overseas operations. Recent attacks in passenger trains have also signified the need to have portable and low cost explosive detection devices. The proposed sensor approach address this need by providing low cost and portable but highly sensitive and selective method of detecting explosive vapors. The detectors are based on a micro sensor technology which has already been proven as portable, sensitive and rugged vapor detectors. The novel approach proposed further improves the sensitivity and selectivity for explosive vapors. The sensor hardware and control software already available in commercial devices can be adopted for prototype fabrication.
