Abstract
In one embodiment of the disclosure, an explosive device detection system includes a thermal imaging camera and at least one radio frequency receiver that is coupled to a signal processing circuit. The thermal imaging camera is operable to produce a first electrical signal indicative of thermal energy radiated by an explosive device. The at least one radio frequency receiver is operable to produce at least one second electrical signal indicative of electro-magnetic energy emitted by the explosive device. The signal processing circuit is configured to combine the first electrical signal and the at least one second electrical signal on a display such that the explosive device is aligned on the display.
