Abstract

The increased pressure of terrorist action have led to the invention of many new and spectacular techniques for the detection of concealed weapon and explosives. These include trace detection systems for the detection of vapors or particles of explosive left behind during carrying, nuclear quadruple resonance, neutron activation, X ray scanner and other systems based on energetic radiation. But these are all traditional methods which has more limitations in the detection. Emerging of Advanced ground sensors (embedded system), remote sensing and GIS techniques with the support of highly advanced image processing software enable many new ideologies to detect the explosives with higher accuracy. So we incorporated active and passive system to detect the explosives. This integrated technique will work successfully by employing this proposed technique at the border of our nation especially in the coastal area. Since the unavailability of data (which is required to be sensed on the day when explosion taken place), only the methodology and techniques are discussed in this study.
