EXPLOSCAN
™

Hand-Held Explosives Detector

EXPLOSCAN™ Stops Them First

EXPLOSCAN™ is a hand-held and ruggedized explosives and improvised materials
detector capable of trace particle and vapor detection in less than 7 seconds.

EXPLOSCAN ™ provides security professionals with the latest detection capabilities

uniquely developed to address global terrorism with specific operational requirements
such as extreme temperatures, wind, rain, sand, drop and shock. These enhanced
capabilities enable to address an expanded customer base to include airports, ports
and border control, law enforcement and critical infrastructure – in other words, security
personnel who require a robust, lightweight and a highly reliable system.
