Class: Person-Borne Explosives Detection Canines
K2 has developed the Person-Borne Explosive Detection Canine (PB-EDC) capability, through which canines are trained to recognize a scent trail signature on a mobile target. This capability unmasks the growing threat of hidden, yet mobile, explosives and puts detection in the hands of security units. It is a non-threatening effective way of searching locations such as mass-transit hubs, schools, universities, sporting events, and locations that would host a large crowd.
