Proposed solutions should be harmless for users and operators, provide fast detection and include easily deployable devices. These solutions should be able to detect weapons (including non-metallic weapons); explosives (combined or not with electronics), including homemade explosives (HMEs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs); other threats and illicit goods such as drugs, tobacco or currency, concealed under or in the clothes or bags of individuals as well as within the individuals’ bodies.

These, could be increasingly useful especially in contexts such as airports or ferry terminals where people board on foot or in vehicles, where a sufficient and efficient detection capacity will have to cope with substantial growth of passenger volume.

Proposed solutions must maximise respect of fundamental rights, including for dignity and privacy. Solutions should also prove their potential to enable the quick scan of large flows of people, employing a minimum number of operators.
