BOMB THREATS AT 35,000 FEET? WE HELP SECURITY TEAMS RESPOND.

When a bomb threat strikes mid-flight, every second counts. RS DYNAMICS brings explosive trace detection closer to the people responsible for keeping passengers safe — even when conventional security infrastructure is out of reach.

A New Threat to European Aviation

In early November 2026, bomb threats disrupted dozens of commercial flights across Europe, forcing emergency landings, fighter-jet escorts and extensive security inspections.

Although no explosives were found, the incidents exposed a critical challenge: how can security teams assess a potential explosive threat when an aircraft is already airborne?

Airport screening protects passengers before takeoff, but security threats do not necessarily end at the boarding gate.

Powerful Detection. Small Enough to Carry.

RS DYNAMICS addresses this challenge with miniEXPLONIX® Pro, an exceptionally compact handheld explosives trace detector designed for rapid deployment.

Weighing just 685 grams, the device offers a cold-start time of approximately 15 seconds and detection in around one second after sampling, identifying traces of explosives such as TNT, RDX, PETN and TATP.

Its discreet design, one-button operation and advanced IRSSIL® technology give authorized air marshals, airline security teams and tactical responders an additional screening capability wherever operational conditions and regulations permit.

Beyond Detection. Better Decisions.

For situations requiring further chemical analysis, miniEXPLONIX can be complemented by microRAMAN®, a handheld Raman spectrometer that helps identify suspicious substances.

Together, these technologies support faster threat assessment and better-informed security decisions without replacing established aviation safety procedures.

Because when a threat emerges at 35,000 feet, security teams need more than uncertainty — they need the right tools to respond.
