      abstract = {Critical infrastructures are targets for terrorism and  deliver a valuable vector through which the proliferation  of CBRN and explosive precursors can be detected. Recent  technological breakthroughs, notably in the field of near  infrared (NIR), mid infrared (MIR), Terahertz (THz) and  Gigahertz (GHz) sources and detectors, have led to rugged  commercial devices, capable of standoff sensing a range of  these dangerous substances. However, at the same time  criminal and terrorist organizations have also benefited  from the availability of technologies to increase the  threat they pose to the security of citizens and a  concerted effort is needed to improve early detection  measures to identify activities, such as the production of  homemade explosives or CBRN that can be potentially  dangerous to society. The key global technological  bottleneck to be overcome is the current lack of  integration and networking of mature detection technology  into early warning systems for critical infrastructures.  Thus, this book brings together complementary information  connecting the research of leading teams working on  critical Infrastructure protection with academic developers  and industrial producers of state of the art sensors.},
