Mechanical Impedance And Multiphysics Concealed And Hidden Objects Interrogation
GRANT NUMBER: 101073899
DURATION: 1 September 2022 – 31 August 2025

FOCUS AREA: detection of drugs, explosives, weapons, illicit goods
The project aims to improve a novel technology for fast detection of drugs, explosives, weapons, and illicit goods concealed on individuals and in cavities of the human body based on infrasound mechanical impedance interrogation, optionally complemented with other harmless and non-contact technologies.
Slight variations of the prototypes will be demonstrated in operational environments (TRL7) of customs and border authorities in EU external air, land and sea borders crossing points in Spain, Greece, Romania and Finland.
Foreseeable Outcomes:
- The Project aims to develop up to TRL7-8 blast-proof prototypes with detection capability extended to limbs and body cavities and improved sensitivity. Infrasound computer aided modelling, improved Artificial Intelligence, altogether with improved new infrasound generators and sensors will enable an improvement in reliability and sensitivity.
