Loughborough anti-terrorist device wins award(27/04/2012)
A ground-breaking anti-terrorist device developed by Loughborough University academics has won the ‘Electro optic, thermal imaging and night vision’ category at the national Counter Terrorism and Specialist Security Awards 2012. The Explorer can scan crowded areas remotely in real-time, such as airports and railway stations, and identify tiny amounts of explosive particles invisible to the naked eye. It then automatically signals an alarm if traces are detected.
