Explosives & EOD
Rapidly Identify Explosives and Precursors
Our portable explosive detection solutions enable a comprehensive multi-threat response. Elevate operational safety and reliability in field identification of explosives, precursors, and other chemical threats.
EXPLOSIVE DETECTION
Explosive Identification Enables Emergency Responders to Take Action Swiftly
Today’s emergency responders, bomb disposal units, and military need expanded capabilities for rapid explosive detection and identification.
Using both high-pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS) technology for identification of trace substances and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for bulk material identification significantly amplifies the capabilities of bomb disposal units. This technology combination equips Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams with a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to explosive detection, identification, and monitoring, ensuring swift and accurate responses in the field.
DETECT EXPLOSIVES & PRECURSORS
Exceptional Sensitivity
Our handheld MX908 device provides unparalleled selectivity and sensitivity for identifying trace-level explosives and their precursors, such as HMX, hexamine, and TATP, in mere seconds. The high-pressure mass spectrometry technique ensures rapid explosive detection in minutes. Quickly detecting and identifying explosive material enables rapid threat assessment and emergency response.
Our ProtectIR, XplorIR and ThreatID portable FTIR devices excel in identifying the chemical composition of bulk materials. Receive a detailed spectral fingerprint of substances, which complement the trace detection capabilities of MX908. By analyzing the infrared absorption spectra, FTIR can identify tens of thousands of chemical compounds.
IDENTIFY EXPLOSIVES
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Missions
Explosive missions require advanced chemical analysis technologies to quickly and precisely identify trace and bulk levels of substances of military and commercial grade explosives, homemade energetics and relevant precursors. The combination of technologies cuts through background clutter to clearly and rapidly identify explosives in the field, allowing users to make confident decisions, quickly.
PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY
Explosives Detection to Protect Transportation Hubs
The rise of explosive-related attacks highlights the vital role of explosive detection and identification technology in protecting transportation hubs like airports and train stations. The MX908 device, with its trace chemical detection capability, utilizes advanced algorithms to identify a wide range of threats in transportation environments. Read the article from Transport Security International to learn more.
TECHNOLOGY FOR EOD
Comprehensive Coverage
Chemical identification has become increasingly important for EOD teams due to the rise of chemical threats like chemical warfare and pharmaceutical-based agents released from explosive devices. Tools like the MX908, ProtectIR, XplorIR and ThreatID are essential for detecting and identifying vapor, aerosol threats, and bulk chemical material during EOD missions. These devices offer comprehensive coverage for both conventional chemical warfare agents and more sophisticated threats.
