Abstract

This paper reviews the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of main explosives detection technologies, as well as research areas needed in the future. Explosives detection technology can be classified into spectroscopic methods, sensor techniques, and olfactory type sensors. There have been advances in explosives detection technology, however studies on discriminatory, portability, and sensitivity for explosives detection still remained competitive.

본 논문은 주요 폭발물 탐지 기술에 대한 원리, 장단점 및 향후 필요한 연구 분야에 대한 총설이다. 폭발물 탐지 기술은 분광학적 방법(spectroscopic methods), 감지기 기술(sensor techniques), 후각 감지기(olfactory type sensors)로 분류할 수 있다. 이러한 탐지 기술은 많은 발전이 있었지만 폭발물 탐지를 위한 판별성, 휴대성, 감도에 관한 연구 가능성이 높은 것으로 보인다.
