A Product From Global Technical

The company has been at the forefront of the development of stand off technology for the detection of Narcotics, Explosives and Weapons. The GT200 has been continually upgraded and improved during its lifetime and now is the most reliable and advanced system of it’s type. Many other similar systems have appeared on the market in an attempt to mimic the success of the GT200, but the quality, reliability and range of substances that can be detected by the GT200, are far in excess of the competing system.

Reference

Two test reports are available that confirm the effectiveness of our technology. One is from the British Army and relates to the search of explosives. The report confirms the technology is ideally suited to stand off detection of explosives. This is an important reference from the Royal Engineers who are the foremost authority in the UK for explosives search and disposal, having gained experience from the troubles in Northern Ireland and operations around the world. The second report is from the Netherlands Ministry of Defence relating to the East Caribbean Task Force operations for narcotic interdiction. The report details the effectiveness of the system in sea and air operations.

25 Countries Worldwide

The system has been developed to allow the search of large areas and reduce them to small locations that can then be searched with existing technologies such as the canine. The GT200 allows for all types of drugs or explosives to be searched for in one operation, unlike our competitors who have to make the search a number of times to determine the substance.

A Wide Range of Applications

The applications below are by no means exhaustive. They broadly describe the searches related to explosives and narcotics.

Open Search

The GT200 allows for area reduction when conducting large area searches in open country and mountainous terrain, reducing the overall search time and focusing only on those indicated locations. Buried arms caches, narcotics stores and underground tunnel systems can be detected from distances of over 700m.

Port Control

With the advent of the new rules for screening containers at ports, authorities are struggling to screen as a result inadequate resource The GT200 allows all containers and goods entering or exiting the port can be screened in seconds for nuclear, explosive and narcotic materials. Similarly, the GT200 can be deployed in just about every port of entry including airport and border crossing.

Aerial & Naval Operations

Using the GT200 from the air enables task forces to respond immediately to intelligence or the result of an airborne search. By combining the ammunition, explosives and human sensor cards we can scan jungle canopies in the search for terrorist training camps or drug factories.

Vehicle Check Point

The GT200 allows for the successful screening of every vehicle coming through the VCP, eliminating the requirement for random selection. Vehicles can be screened in seconds.

Criteria

GT200

Canine

Vapor Technology

Detection Distance	700m for open search 60m for buried substance	affected by wind scent shallow and variable depth	close proximity (about +/- 3m)
Speed	remote scanning and triangulation less's than 5 secs to setup	handler must know where to start	operator must locate target first
Penetration	detects through metal, wood, water, lead	affected by masked substance e.g. substance hidden in coffee	not effective as it depends on vapor
Detect ingested substance	detect ingested narcotics up to 2 weeks or more	not known to be able to detect	not effective as it depends on vapor
Power	Comparison against commonly used detection methodologies operator's body static	gets tired after 2-3 hours	requires battery
Covertness	remote detection therefore operator is unseen	presence make it obvious and barking alerts suspect	presence make it obvious as close proximity is required
Robust to external elements	reusable even after dropped in water	gets tired direct sun confused by wind scen	prone to sensor corruption (e.g. car exhaust) gets damaged if wet
Maintenance cost	virtually no maintenance required other than simple cleaning can be every	requires constant training and upkeep	expensive and problematic to calibrate
Customization	driven by software sensor making it highly customizable	requires re-training but difficult to customize	expensive to customize lack flexiblity
Training and ease of use	almost anyone can be trained to use training is 3 days	takes time to train both dog and handler	requires frequent calibration
Confirm traces	sensitivity down to pico gram levels even at great distances	affected by masked substance affected by wind scent	close proximity (about +/- 3m)
Operates with minimal lighting	triangulates with minimal light	handler may be affected in the night	requires lighting and battery pack to read data
International references	international reports available for explosives and narcotics	too variable; dependent on local training centers	available but technology varies making comparison difficult
