Detection

DTIMS architecture

Dielectric Barrier Discharge provides a highly reliable non-radioactive source without traditional licensing requirements.

Operation

Dual mode sampling

Particle and vapour analysis identifies explosives including HMX, NG, PETN, RDX and TNT, alongside narcotics such as cocaine, heroin, ketamine, MDMA, methamphetamine and THC.

Power

Hot-swappable energy

Two lithium-ion batteries provide up to six hours of full operation with less than eight minutes of warm-up.
