This conference brings together leading researchers, technologists, and end users to explore the latest advancements in the detection and identification of materials through barriers. With a focus on both foundational research and deployable technologies, the event aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration. Attendees are invited to present work ranging from proof-of-concept studies to field-ready solutions, encouraging a broad spectrum of innovation and insight.

Key application areas include:
On-person concealments – detecting hidden items on individuals
Two-sided detection – identifying contents within enclosed containers (“What’s in the box?”)
One-sided detection – locating materials underground or behind walls.

This forum offers a unique opportunity to align technical capabilities with real-world requirements, shaping the future of barrier detection technologies.
