Airborne Technologies for Geo-Referencing Explosive Contaminants

This research investigates the use of airborne technologies to detect and geo-reference explosive contaminants across various environments. The focus is on experimental validations and technology assessments that evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies in accurately identifying and mapping explosive residues. We are interested in studies that explore different airborne platforms, such as drones or aircraft, equipped with sensors like hyperspectral imaging, LiDAR, or thermal cameras, and their ability to detect trace explosive materials. The investigation aims to understand the precision and reliability of these technologies in diverse settings, including urban, agricultural, and industrial areas. Key areas of interest include the sensitivity of detection methods, the integration of geo-referencing systems, and the operational capabilities of airborne sensors in real-time or near-real-time applications. The research seeks to gather insights from recent experimental studies and assessments to evaluate the current state and potential advancements in this field.
