This conference brings together researchers, technology developers, and end users to look at new and emerging ways to detect and identify materials that are hidden or obscured by barriers. The aim is to create a practical, open forum where ideas can be shared across disciplines and where research can be discussed in the context of real‑world needs.

The event will cover work at different stages of maturity, from early laboratory studies and small proof‑of‑concept tests through to technologies that are closer to being used in operational settings. Speakers are encouraged to share what has worked, what has not, and what challenges still remain, helping to build a more realistic picture of progress in this space.
