The initial products are developed to detect explosives, but the technology could also be used for detection of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons (NBC) to lethal gases, viral and bacterial contamination hazards.

The advantages of the Portendo TDS are:

• early-warning capability
• first system allowing pervasive, autonomous and continuous detection of security threats
• eliminated human interaction in information gathering thus reducing operation, maintenance and training costs
• centralized information for improved threat assessment
• miniaturized sensors enables both portable devices and fixed installation
• detection method allows detection of a wide range of explosives and is software upgradeable to cover new substances
