Unclassified Research Topic Description, including Problem Statement:
Historically, efforts to screen for energetic materials have concentrated on detecting specific materials. However, the ability to assess the total stored chemical energy within a parcel or bag would enable qualitative assessments to be made on the probability of items of interest being contained. For example, a large number of batteries, or a battery and an energetic material.
A technique that could assess the total stored energy, regardless of whether that be in a battery or in energetic materials, would be a valuable tool for security screening applications.
