NWED2020

The increase in use of explosives for the destruction of public life and property has compelled the need to detect and identify explosives. Miscreants are using innovative means to create destruction with an element of surprise and sophistication. To counter such threats, innovative materials, sensors and technologies are being explored to bring out user-friendly devices for efficient and effective detection of explosives to make homeland security more credible. Detection of explosive being a very important, increasingly relevant and vital topic of research in the current scenario, researchers are working at different geographical locations in the country on different techniques for detection of trace and bulk explosives.

Concealed bulk explosive detection is important to counter the mass damage whereas the explosive identification or detection of traces is important for the analysis of after effect and to foresee the possibility of hidden explosive. The workshop will focus on the current and futuristic scientific & technological advances in the field of trace and bulk explosive detection such as Ultrafast Lasers, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS), Universal Multi-Angle Raman Spectroscopy (UMARS), Back Scatter Raman Spectroscopy, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy, Tera-Hertz Spectroscopy, Nuclear and X-ray detection techniques, Novel materials, Sensors, Nano Science & Technology, Electronic nose etc.

The main objective of the workshop is to bring the community working in the field of explosive detection together and enable them to explore the novel explosive detection technologies and development of newer materials and sensors technologies to meet the challenges for efficient detection of wide ranges of explosives.

The workshop will mainly focus on various aspect of detection of bulk explosives in concealed or open condition and also on the aspect of the stand-off detection techniques to be used without tampering of the package for detection of explosive. The workshop will also bring the technologists together for innovative product development to meet the need of the end users.
