Laser Detect System (LDS) has launched the world's first drone-based explosive detection sensor, SpectroDrone, at the HLS & Cyber Expo in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Launched after extensive testing, SpectroDrone is capable of detecting explosives, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and chemical compounds.

The new sensor employs LDS’s laser-based explosive detection system, which can identify explosives and other hazardous materials from several metres away.
SpectroDrone was displayed on the high-capacity, multi-mission Airobotics Optimus drone at the exhibition.
Airbotics CEO and co-founder Ran Krauss said: “When running security, emergency or surveillance missions in an industrial environment, the ability to dynamically and swiftly replace payloads, as well as introduce new innovative ones, is a real step forward.
“The next-generation of security lies in introducing unique technological capabilities, which I believe LDS and Airbotics bring jointly to market.”
