Project Summary

Terrorism poses an ongoing credible threat to Australia. The ability to determine where a person or object has been can be critical for determining the security risk posed, and for the potential evidential value of seized items.

This project will advance the development of a forensic intelligence tool that targets dust particles on personal items and goods, establishing a new counter-intelligence capability that will support Australian defence and national security.
