Abstract: A device for detecting traces of explosive materials, weapons, firearms, knives or drugs is disclosed. The device is used a stand-alone device, or coupled to an explosive detector using mass spectrometry or ion mobility spectrometry technologies. The device comprises a plurality of sensors, a controller and a memory coupled to the processor. The sensors include radar, a position sensor, a camera and so on. The device scans a plurality of subjects in a field of regard. Based on the signals obtained from the sensors, the device determines presence of the explosive materials, weapons, firearms, knives or drugs and alerts a user of the device.
