Explosive detection is one important aspect of the security of any business establishment. Simulated explosives are used for testing the efficiency of these systems. Below are some of the aspects that related to explosive detection systems/devices and simulated explosives.
Services for security checkpoints
There are various screen training kits for checkpoints. These include the checkpoint training kits, the training kits for explosive recognition, training kits that are based on modular IED devices and more. Onsite explosive detection training solutions include the training for metal detectors, the image interpretation X-Ray, the HME/IED threats and the CSO court house training.
Availability of services
The explosive detection training kits and services are available to USA federal government security agencies and federal state agencies. The approved security services government contractors that hold due licenses and certifications can also avail these services and buy the products for providing enhanced security cover to any establishment.
Stimulants used for developing security systems and solutions
Threat objects including simulated explosives provide for better research and development that is the key to developing better security devices and explosive detection techniques and methods. Apart from these, simulated explosives also provide for better testing and better personnel training.
During the testing of automated and otherwise detection systems that are used for detecting explosives, live explosives have vast usage. They provide for better judgment on the effectively of the system and such system can be better developed and gains certification as well. The deployment life cycle of the product system requires further testing and training of the system.
Companies like DSA Detection provide a wide range of devices for detecting explosives in security wise, sensitive establishments such as airports, parks, train station, etc. to government agencies. Other companies provide simulated explosives for testing of such systems. Different kinds of explosive detection systems use different techniques and substances for detecting explosives. Simulated explosives are made after gaining detailed knowledge of the different kinds of properties that different explosives have. Such simulated explosives are safer, more inert and mimic the properties of the real explosives almost completely.
After the simulated explosives are fully developed, they are packaged for testing in different kinds of concealed and open scenarios and are used by both government and private agencies for detecting the efficiency of their explosive detection systems. They are also used to test the perfection of vigilance provided by the security personnel.
Changing threats
The threats have always been changing. During the decades of the 60s and 70s, the most profound test of civil aviation was in threats related to hijacking of airplanes. The threat of the concealed weapons that were used for hijacking the airplanes and terrorizing the passengers and staff was removed by the installation of x-ray scanners and metal detectors at airports. Later the threat of explosives emerged which was controlled by the checkpoint screening products detection systems which were fully automated and were used for checking baggage.
