BEN (TS500)

Detect Threats at a Safe Distance

BEN (TS500) is a UAV-mounted explosive detection system that detects IEDs and explosive materials from a distance by sensing airborne explosive particles across wide areas, with high sensitivity, enabling early threat indication and keeping operators outside the danger zone.

Key Features & Highlights

Designed for Stand-Off Operations

Stand-Off Detection (Remote Operation)
Enables detection of explosive threats from a distance, without requiring physical approach to the suspected area
Wide-Area Coverage
Scans large areas, including buildings and open environments, enabling rapid identification of potential threat zones
UAV Integration & Mobility
Lightweight payload optimized for UAV platforms, enabling rapid deployment and access to complex or denied environments
High-Sensitivity Airborne Detection
Detects trace-level airborne explosive particles across large areas, including those emitted from concealed or shielded explosive materials

Frequently Asked Questions

Does BEN require entry into the structure?
No. BEN operates from outside the structure, enabling detection without physical access or entry.
What does BEN actually detect?
BEN detects airborne particles associated with explosive materials, providing indication of potential explosive presence within the scanned structure.
How quickly are results delivered?
Detection occurs within seconds, providing immediate situational awareness.
How does BEN integrate with the GAL system?
The BEN and GAL systems are designed to complement each other, combining stand-off detection with close-range verification to improve overall detection effectiveness.
