In areas from conflict zones to airports to sporting events, bombs pose dangers for innocent civilians as well as the bomb technicians who regularly risk their lives to investigate suspicious objects and render the devices safe. Technology solutions can help first responders see hidden dangers. To this end, the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate's First Responders Group (FRG) is developing the X-Ray Scanning Rover (XSR) to be a responder's eyes. It quickly and accurately scans packages and bags for leave-behind improvised explosive devices (LBIED) while keeping responders out of harm's way. It provides a complete 3-D, multi-view picture of the entire object being scanned in real time.
