Remote detection of explosives using Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometer installed on multicopter [PDF]
The detection of explosives and drugs in hard-to-reach places is a considerable challenge. We report the development and initial experimental characterization of the air analysis system that includes Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometer (FAIMS), array of the semiconductor gas sensors and is installed on multicopter. The system was developed based

Chemical Warfare and Terrorism [PDF]
Abstract The acquisition of chemical weapons by about twenty countries, and by terrorists, has increased the likelihood of their use. In World War I, chlorine, cyanide, phosgene and sulphur mustard were used. Nerve agents were available during World War II, but were not used. Sulphur mustard was used in the Iran-Iraq War. More recently, the release of

Enhancing Strategic Information Security Management in Organizations through Information Warfare Practices [PDF]
In this short paper we argue that to combat APTs, organizations need a strategic level shift away from a traditional prevention centered approach to that of a response centered one. Drawing on the information warfare (IW) paradigm in military studies, and using Dynamic Capability Theory (DCT), this research examines the applicability of IW capabilities

Noise Removal of FTIR Hyperspectral Images via MMSE [PDF]
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) hyperspectral imaging systems are deployed in various fields where spectral information is exploited. Chemical warfare agent (CWA) detection is one of such fields and it requires a fast and accurate process from the measurement to the visualization of detection results, including noise removal.
