Roadside bomb detection dog - by DiagNose

“Bomb detection is one of the weakest capabilities of the US army in combat”  Says Spencer Ackerman in an article published  few days ago in the “Wired” magazine titled:

Drones, metal detectors, chemical sniffers, and super spycams — forget ‘em. The leader of the Pentagon’s multibillion military task force to stop improvised bombs says there’s nothing in the U.S. arsenal for bomb detection more powerful than a dog’s nose.
The article claims that the Pentagon has spent over 19 Billion Dollars on IED detection tricks and gadgets without any real breakthrough in performance.
The core problem: the bombs are still proliferating — and not just in Afghanistan and Iraq, but globally. According to statistics Darpa provided the author last month, for the last six months, there have been an average of 273 monthly IED incidents around the world excluding Iraq and Afghanistan.

Roadside bomb detection dog - a viable and efficient solution

In an article that appeared yesterday in several newspapers in Thailand, the Thai Prime Minister is quoted as stating that the country’s army makes widespread use of various devices that are purportedly able to detect explosives. The article expresses considerable disappointment with those devices because of their low detection rate (only about 20%) and mainly in light of the fact that the army spent over 20 million dollars in the purchase of that equipment.

In the article, the Prime Minister mentioned the advantages of using explosive detection dogs, and called upon the army to increase their usage of sniffer dogs based solutions.
Following are two articles on the subject that appeared in Thai newspapers.

Article 1: Sniffer dogs better: Thai PM

Article 2: Four-legged bomb detector is more reliable than GT200

diagnose-k9-solutions In the beginning of the year DiagNose began expanding its activities

outside France and Israel, and is constantly seeking new opportunities   worldwide.

The company’s marketing efforts have yielded several new projects.

DiagNose is building a new RAScargO facility in South Africa together with ACTS, the joint ICTS Europe/Bidair subsidiary. This unit, in its final stages of construction, will be operational in September 2009.  South Africa recently enacted new legislation on the subject of cargo security, effective 1st of July this year. The new legislation regulates cargo security procedures, and therefore all players in the cargo industry must find a solution for effective cargo screening. RAScargO appears to be a most cost-effective solution, not only thanks to its competitive rates but mainly because customers do not need to invest money in purchasing equipment. ACTS has already begun marketing the service and has gained initial customers among the shippers of perishable goods.

DiagNose has appointed a new partner in India and has already supplied the first batch of explosives detection dogs to this company. DiagNose is training the customer’s handlers, so that it may function as a K9 detection unit service provider.

Roadside IED clearance dogs, a specialty of the Israeli training center, is raising considerable interest from armies throughout the world, particularly in countries operating in terror-stricken areas such as Afghanistan, Iraq and other conflicted areas. DiagNose has already received an initial order from a European army with troops deployed in Afghanistan.

DiagNose is also preparing to meet customer needs expected to increase with the new EU legislation dealing with HBS with the use of canines, as well as the very important legislation concerning the deployment of dogs for cargo clearance tasks.

DiagNose recently launched a new video website demonstrating its products –
