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
Missions
Stand-Off Detection Without Entry
BEN enables remote detection of explosive threats in structures without requiring physical access, supporting safer and more informed operational decisions.
Wide-Area Screening
Performs stand-off detection across buildings, rooms, and structures that may contain explosive threats
Pre-Entry Stand-Off Assessment
Enables detection of potential explosive presence before personnel approach or enter a structure, reducing exposure and operational risk
Full-Structure Coverage from Stand-Off Position
Enables efficient coverage of entire structures from a single deployment, without the need for internal movement or multiple entry points
Enables Safe and Informed Operational Planning
Provides actionable detection cues that support decision-making on whether, where, and how to proceed with further investigation or entry
Inspection of Vehicles, Rooms, and Suspicious Objects
Rapid detection of airborne explosive particles around vehicles, enclosed spaces, containers, and suspect items—without the need for physical contact
Complementary Confirmation Layer (Post Scan Validation)
Complements BEN (TS500) by providing close-range verification, increasing detection confidence and enabling identification of concealed or hard-to-detect explosive threats
Detection of Concealed Explosives
Enables detection of explosives hidden or concealed by sensing airborne particles, without requiring direct contact
Area Coverage at Close Range
Efficiently scans entire rooms and structures at close range with extremely high sensitivity, enabling thorough detection coverage

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.
