GRANT NUMBER: 101073963
DURATION: 1 October 2022 – 30 September 2025

FOCUS AREA: detection of illicit goods
Being able to detect threats and illicit goods in postal and express courier flows is vital to the security of the EU. However, this area faces key challenges such as the lack of technology capable of screening volumes of goods efficiently.
The project will develop and test next-generation non-intrusive technologies and combine them into an architecture designed for detection accuracy, speed, and reliability. This will help stop the abuse of postal and express courier flows for criminal and terrorist purposes.
Foreseeable Outcomes:
- develop, test and combine in a specific architecture: a multi-energy photon counting detector, neutron-induced gamma-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction
