Abstract
CEA, a prominent player in research, development and innovation has developed extensive expertise in a number of topics which are now central within the global security research issues. As an example, CEA is developing research of new technologies for the detection of explosives. This article gives an overview of the main activities regarding to the detection and identification of bulk or traces explosives. The document focus on high TRL projects aiming to develop demonstrators for testing in real configurations.
