Abstract
Over the recent years the threat of various terrorist acts involving the use of explosive materials has been growing in different parts of the world. The analysis of such acts demonstrates that their preparation and implementation is characterized by a constantly growing professionalism of the terrorists, the use of modern explosives and remote control devices. At the same time, the existing technical means for detection and destruction of terrorist explosive devices have a number of deficiencies, first of all, low detection effectiveness and high danger of the process of explosive devices neutralization. That is why the development of new technical tools for counteraction against terrorism is a very urgent issue.
