Project description
Protecting EU postal and express courier flows
Being able to detect threats and illicit goods in postal and express courier flows is vital to the security of the EU. However, this area faces key challenges such as the lack of technology capable of screening volumes of goods efficiently. The EU-funded PARSEC project will develop and test three next-generation non-intrusive detection technologies – a multi-energy photon counting detector, neutron-induced gamma-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction – and combine them into a detection architecture for detection accuracy, speed, and reliability. This will help stop the abuse of postal and express courier flows for criminal and terrorist purposes.
