PanARMENIAN.Net - Following extensive testing in the laboratory and in the field, Laser Detect System (LDS) Ltd. is unveiling SpectroDrone – the world’s first drone-based explosive detection sensor, Defense Update reports.
Utilizing LDS’ laser-based explosive detection system, SpectroDrone detects explosives and other hazardous materials, in gas, liquid, powder or bulk form, at a distance of several meters from the threat. SpectroDrone can perform such missions over an operational radius of up to 3 Km. In addition to the detection of dangerous materials, SpectroDrone can remotely analyze different materials in real time, fulfilling essential role in mining and other industrial operations.
Until now, detection techniques required the user to bring the sensor within few millimeters of the inspected material. SpectroDrone employs LDS’s patented standoff gated laser spectroscopy techniques, using several laser wavelengths illumination, mainly via ultraviolet (UV) laser. This approach offers advantages in the detection of explosives, not available by any other means. The new development has proved to detect a wide range of materials at distances of several meters. The payload payload operates automatically, by aiming and activating the sensor via remote control. Scan results are displayed within few seconds on the operator control unit or at the control center, thus increasing user safety and providing higher efficiency when scanning large areas with remotely operated or autonomous systems.
LDS is unveiling the SpectroDrone this week at Israel’s HLS & Cyber Expo in Tel Aviv. At the exhibition, SpectroDron...
