Scadenza per la presentazione delle domande: 13 maggio 2014.
Obiettivo e impatto atteso: this topic is addressed to explore options for parallel development of at least two different technologies for container scanning, for instance: atomic property based interrogation, particularly to detect threat materials shielded in dense cargos, interrogation technology being directed towards the detection of organic products of relevance to Customs; evaporation based interrogation, with targeted selectivity at approximately femtogram/litre level, to be directed towards a wider scope. Expected impact: a technology which could scan a load with high probability of detection of particular key commodities would increase efficiency and throughput and reduce cost and delays to innocent shippers. Solutions are therefore to be developed to allow for an increased assurance level in particular for dense containerised cargo, avoiding the need to unnecessarily resorting to physical inspection.
