Terahertz Technology For Military Applications

The ability to detect and identify objects hidden behind barriers is one of the core features THz technology can offer. In today’s security environments the ability to identify threats like hidden weapons, body-worn explosives are a strong operational need. Also detecting these threats at longer ranges are more crucial in security portals. With its capacity in penetrating on a lot of dielectric material and non-polar liquids THz technology can offer cross-barrier vision ability. THz spectral imaging technology is also offering a fingerprint characteristics by identifying the composition of objects. By being non-ionizing THz technology does not represent health hazards for living tissue or humans as X-rays do.
