Improvised explosives and precursor identification with LIBS

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Improvised explosive materials (IE) present a potent measurement/detection challenge. Some materials are well-identified with traditional instrumentation; those mixed with metal powders are not. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy adds needed capability to the detection arsenal of first-responders.
