Alcalá de Henares, Spain
Melchior is a project which aims to improve substantially a novel technology for fast detection of drugs, explosives, weapons and illicit goods concealed on individuals and in critical cavities of the human body based on infrasound mechanical impedance interrogation, optionally complemented with other harmless and non-contact technologies. This project aims to drastically increase the safety of the border staff having to touch inspected individuals. Thus, travelers' experience will improve greatly. Since no contact is needed, individuals do not have to undress and therefore their privacy is respected.
