IED detection technologies

IED (Improvised Explosive Device) detection technologies are tools used to identify hidden explosives before they cause harm. They include techniques like metal detectors, which sense metal parts in bombs; chemical sensors that detect explosive residues; and imaging systems such as X-ray or thermal cameras that reveal hidden objects. Advanced methods also involve trained dogs, ground-penetrating radar, and electromagnetic sensors. These technologies work together to locate and assess threats, helping security personnel to prevent attacks while minimizing disruption and danger to civilians.
