BioExplorers is developing detection systems for the Home Land Security market (explosives vapor detection) and the drug enforcement market (narcotics and other prohibited materials detection).
- The Madrid, London, India and other worldwide attacks, executed by terrorists carrying undetected “bulk explosive materials” - demonstrate the vulnerability of our public systems.
- Cargo that goes aboard passenger planes remains a major threat and 100% screening will be obligatory according to recent legislation
- A reliable, easy to
implement, fast and cost effective solution is required in order to
mitigate the global growing threats
- BioExplorers systems are based on combining the
hyper- sensitive olfactory capability of rodents with the care-free
reliability of a hi-tech machine system as illustrated below:
|
- Multiple hypersensitive bioSensors - genetically selected rodents, optimized by integration with Hi-technology system. Sensors are “programmed” to detect and alert for explosives and narcotics by our proprietary automatic training system.
- Reliable alerts - Propietary algorithms analyze and process the multiple sensors (group of rodents) outputs.
System Advantages
- Higher sensitivity and reliability compared to mechanical sensors
- Shortest detection time (3-6 seconds in prototype) – usable in mass transportation
- Multiple rodents - more reliable than an individual K-9
- Quick adaptation to new target materials (new explosive types, other prohibited substances)
- Automated training system
- No skilled operators required
- Low cost
- Non-intrusive body "scan"
