ECS Explosive Detection

The ECS© Detector line, built on our proven technology, is the basis of our new line explosive sensing devices.

The ECS© Detectors are designed to sense and assist in the detection and monitoring of bomb and Class One explosive materials with over 1000% more sensitivity than other products currently available. Explosive signatures recorded include those contained on the published list of regulated explosive materials as presented by the USATF and United Nations.

The ECS© Detector product line consists of a digital patented 4 head sensor array which is markedly different from other commercially available detectors. The samples are compared with background baselines and, utilizing advanced proprietary mathematic filters, monitors the changing levels of chemical compounds, comparing them to a databank of explosive chemical signatures.

The ECS© Detector system consists of up to 500 remote sensing units in custom configuration placed at potential target areas. Once a detector device has entered an alarm state, the device transmits alarm data and optional streaming video to a remote monitoring facility via the latest in GPS technology.

Up to 500 remote explosive sensors can be monitored by a central command / monitoring centre.

There has always been a need for inexpensive and portable sensors for the detection of both low and high explosives (LE/HE) as evidenced in recent incidents at both the Detroit airport and Times Square in New York. The systems currently used in travel centers and sensitive government locations are not sufficiently portable and are too expensive and complicated to be made available to emergency first responders in large numbers.

Most of the explosive detection systems in use today use mass spectroscopy/gas chromatography (MS/GC) or ion mobility mass spectroscopy (IMMS or IMS) technology. MS/GC systems tend to be stationary units and are expensive enough to limit their widespread use while portable IMS systems suffer from a large false positive rate and are still too expensive for many agencies to afford.

The ECS© Detector system has an advanced space/time adaptive processing which ‘lifts’ the signal (digital rendition of suspect chemical signature) out of the environmental noise (digital rendition of background chemical levels). This digital processing is based on the quantification of the complete signal spectrum including the noise. Once processed, the unit then determines if alarm state thresholds are reached. This Algorithm of the chemical signature is reconstructed based on a high level of mathematics theory of the Regularization method and the theory of Correlation Function high order.
