Detection of Explosives for Commercial Aviation Security
possible, including different implementations of neural networks. The committee recommends a medium R&D priority to determine the most effective pattern recognition approaches.
SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY RECOMMENDATIONS
The following efforts are recommended with a high priority:
Continued testing of Thermal Neutron Activation units at airports, and refinement of the method until a determination is made that little additional benefit is being gained.
Development of an Automated Neutron Source Accelerator.
Performance testing of a Dual Energy X-ray prototype.
Demonstration of principle of Coherent X-ray Scattering for explosive material detection.
Performance testing of Dual Energy X-ray Computed Tomography engineering prototypes.
Performance testing of Extremely Low Dose X-ray prototypes.
Statistically-Valid Testing of Deployable Vapor Detection equipment using a test protocol.
Development of particulate detection standards, and testing of deployed devices using the standards.
Performance testing of Dogs.
International standardization of Bar Coding for checked luggage.
The following efforts are recommended with a medium priority:
Performance testing of Pulsed Fast Neutron Activation prototypes.
Performance testing of Backscatter X-ray prototypes.
Demonstration of proof of concept of Pattern Recognition approaches.
The following efforts are recommended with a low priority:
Development of an Elastic Neutron Scattering engineering prototype.
Development of a Photon Activation engineering prototype.
Development of a Nuclear Resonant Absorption engineering prototype.
Development of a Fast Neutron Associated Particle engineering prototype.
