REST (Remote Explosive Scent Tracing) is a professional detection method that enables explosive scent screening at a distance. Instead of exposing detection dogs directly to potentially dangerous environments, scent samples are collected remotely and presented to trained dogs in a controlled setting. This approach significantly increases safety while maintaining high detection reliability.

Purpose of REST systems

The primary purpose of REST (Remote Explosive Scent Tracing) is to enhance safety and efficiency in explosive detection operations. By separating scent collection from canine analysis, REST reduces operational risk and allows detection teams to work in safer, more controlled environments.
