Workshop Background: This IWPC workshop is a follow up to one held in September 2006 where the requirements of several government departments for security sensors were presented. Since 9/11, governments worldwide are wrestling with how to contain terrorist and criminal activities before they occur. There is an increased need for a heightened level of security at airports, marine terminals, building portals, border crossings, public venues and buildings, prisons and in law enforcement. Several US, Canadian, UK, France and other government departments are involved and have a role including: National Institute of Justice Department of Homeland Security Transportation Safety Association Department of Defense Federal Bureau of Prisons UK Home Office CEA France Transport Canada Canadian Airport Transportation Security Authority Examples of sensors applications which are required include: Weapons and Explosives detection, portal and "at-a-distance" Illegal substances detection Contraband detection Detection of illegal immigrants Perimeter and building access violations The use of the millimeterwave bands( 20-150 GHz) for direct and remote sensing has in the last few years blossomed as support technologies have enabled cost effective and reliable sensor equipments. The inherent resolution of millimeterwaves and their ability to either penetrate or reflect off of various materials, makes these frequencies well suited to many critical sensing applications. Millimeterwave sensors have shown great promise for non invasive and safe detection of potential weapons & substances. Alternative sensor systems such as X Ray scanners, laser radars, olfactory sensors, spectrometers et al all have potential human safety and/or countermeasure limitations.
Workshop Goal: This workshop will provide an opportunity for the equipment providers to present their solutions to the requirements which several government departments presented at the September 2006 workshop. Is to bring together the entire millimeterwave sensor supply and demand chain, to obtain a better understanding and an overview of the needs of the various government groups for sensors for security applications and what solutions exist to address them. The intention is that the various government departments better appreciate the types of solutions available and proposed to meet their needs and expectations and engage in a dialogue to better understand which of these may be best suited to millimeterwave technology approaches.
