Introduction

The conference provides a technical forum for increased awareness of novel sensor architectures, enabling component technologies, signal and image processing, phenomenology and applications over the band from 10 GHz to 10 THz. Market awareness and user requirements understood in the forum follow the changing drivers from the world of security and defence. Unrelenting tenacity and innovation of members is establishing the unique selling propositions of sensors in this band. European Framework programs seek means to identify materials through innovative use of active, passive, spectral and spatial signatures. Increased demands for a more widespread deployment of systems to screen people together with their bags increases the potential market size. This will only be realised if innovative solutions enable screening of walking subjects for explosives and weapons, without the need to remove thicker items of clothing or divest items from pockets. Systems to monitor borders for drones, and to screen vehicles for stowaways at border crossings are in demand. Ever present is the requirement from aviation security for highly effective screening for persons entering departure lounges.
