Over that period, federal aviation officials have been searching for more effective ways for non-invasive screening of passengers, luggage, and cargo to detect concealed explosives and weapons. To assist in this effort, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) asked the NRC for a study of emerging screening technologies. This report--the third of four--focuses on currently maturing millimeter-wavelength/terahertz imaging and spectroscopy technologies that offer promise in meeting aviation security requirements. The report provides a description of the basic operation of these imaging systems, an assessment of their component technologies, an analysis of various system concepts, and an implementation strategy for deployment of millimeter-wavelength/terahertz technology screening systems.Aeronautics, CommercialSecurity measuresExplosivesDetectionMillimeter wave devicesImaging systemsAeronautics, CommercialSecurity measures.ExplosivesDetection.Millimeter wave devices.Imaging systems.387MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966000303321Assessment of millimeter-wave and terahertz technology for detection and identification of concealed explosive and weapons4364116UNINA
