Sensors for close-in detection of explosive devices in the framework of FP7-TIRAMISU project

This paper presents a brief overview of sensor technologies for close-in detection of buried explosive devices and describes the research and development activities planned to be carried-out in the framework of FP7/SEC-2011/TIRAMISU project to advance the state of the art in this area.
