FOI, Swedish Defence Research Agency: Coordinator BES-09-2014: Supply Chain Security topic 2: Technologies for inspections of large volume freight • POCs: • Henric Östmark, + 46 8 5550 4191 • Henric.oestmark@foi.se • Anneli Ehlerding, +46 8 5550 4007 • Anneli.ehlerding@foi.se • Hans Önnerud, +46 5550 4058 • Hans.onnerud@foi.se
Project idea Project idea: Developing/improving techniques for scanning freight containers for drugs, explosives, tobacco and/or chemicals. Systems should include Atomic property based (x-ray) and Evaporation based technologies. • Threat analysis, End user requirements and scenario considerations • X-ray scanner • Vapor sampling, IR-spectroscopy and Mass spectroscopy • Highly innovative techniques, incl. advanced Raman spectroscopy Specific challenge:The size of the containers and the request for speed makes scanning and selection challenging. Vapor sampling in the containers requires extremely low detection limits of the sensors. Outcome: Combinations of the techniques should be evaluated in different scenarios. The systems should reach TRL 7.
