Title:
Portable Imager for Stand-off Detection of Person-Bourne Bulk Military and Homemade Explosives
Agency:
DHS
Contract:
HSHQDC-12-C-00023
Award Amount:
$149,280.84
Abstract:
The overall goal of this SBIR proposal is to develop a portable system for stand-off detection of concealed explosives. The system will produce images
showing the presence of the explosives and have the ability to detect and identify different types of military explosives (like TNT, RDX, PETN) as well
as home-made chlorate and peroxide-based explosives. The system will have the ability to scan groups of people from a stand-off distance at a data
collection rate sufficient to image moving subjects. The system's power and weight will allow it to be portable so that it can be deployed at any required
location. The proposed imager could be deployed at mass transit locations, national security event checkpoints, control-entry checkpoints at the
entrance to buildings of national importance or at entrances to largely attended sports and entertainent venues.
