Recent technological breakthroughs,\u003cbr\u003e notably in the field of near infrared (NIR), mid infrared (MIR),\u003cbr\u003e Terahertz (THz) and Gigahertz (GHz) sources and detectors, have led to\u003cbr\u003e rugged commercial devices, capable of standoff sensing a range of\u003cbr\u003e these dangerous substances. However, at the same time criminal and\u003cbr\u003e terrorist organizations have also benefited from the availability of\u003cbr\u003e technologies to increase the threat they pose to the security of\u003cbr\u003e citizens and a concerted effort is needed to improve early detection\u003cbr\u003e measures to identify activities, such as the production of homemade\u003cbr\u003e explosives or CBRN that can be potentially dangerous to society. The\u003cbr\u003e key global technological bottleneck to be overcome is the current lack\u003cbr\u003e of integration and networking of mature detection technology into\u003cbr\u003e early warning systems for critical infrastructures. Thus, this book\u003cbr\u003e brings together complementary information connecting the research of\u003cbr\u003e leading teams working on critical Infrastructure protection with\u003cbr\u003e academic developers and industrial producers of state of the art\u003cbr\u003e sensors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-05-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789402420814\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-024-2082-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 285.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45581100548236,"sku":"9789402420814","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789402420814_fdd55c6d-7dc2-4db3-bab5-2248213a6958.jpg?v=1767222112","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789402420814","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
