LDS Remote Scan line of products presents a new approach in remote, standoff explosives detection of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s). One of LDS’ Remote Scan products is R-SCAN – explosive detection technology has been proved to detect explosive materials against most common background materials such as metals, glass, cloth, wood, paint, and soil at distances of up to tens of meters. This approach offers advantages in the detection of explosives not available by any other means. R-Scan has been field-tested successfully and is undergoing integration with additional detection technologies as an integrated system.
A different Remote Scan technology from LDS is SpectroDrone, a UAV-embedded sensor system capable of detecting explosives, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and other chemical compounds by hovering above the suspected object, scanning it from a safe, standoff distance.
