DARPA Dog’s Nose

[ACSReactions]

In the 1990s, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) created the Dog's Nose Program with the goal of developing an explosives detection system as capable as a dog who had been trained to detect explosives.

These videos are so good! Ugh it frustrates me that u guys don't get thousands of views you so deserve it!

Keep it up. I love your videos ♥️

Omg the way eddy sits down when he found it, its like he's super proud of himself and so am i 👁️👄👁️

My neighbor was a TV repair technician, he had bought a bag of parts and on the way home in metro he gets arrested and locked up till an specialist can confirm he's not a treat, which left his family frightened till next morning 'cause they didn't even let him make a phone call. Now this happened one day before annual revolution day which causes a few million people gather in capital. so don't go buying electronic parts or weird chemicals when a big festival of some sort is going to happen in next few days around you. Police might not have a bomb specialist where they check your belongings.

Me: Mmm yes, indeed, such molecular diffusion, how amperometric, very science.
Also me: PUPPY!!!!

There are air sniffers like the one at the beginning of the video in the NYC subway system. They're labelled "EPA" so as not to worry the tourists xD But finding info on what they, specifically, do? Technically, they are there to monitor the air quality of public and mass transit.

That bomb dog is so cute I could... explode!!!

[dr.degreeff-caninedetectio]

This turned out so great! Worth the wait!

[theguyfromtech]

My condolences for everyone who didn't type "For a school project" after you searched how to make bombs undetectable from police dogs

[Hiznogood]

In Afrika the have use Giant Rats to find land mines with great success!

[dusterfreebottom]

Everyone knows that the human with the mechanical detector would have been more successful if during the search, she had wagged her tail.

[MrXdeDEdex]

Imagine if we had some tech that just enhanced human's smelling abilities to be similar to a dog's.

But let's be real, dogs are man's best friend for a good reason.

[Pawtooler]

The question isn't who would win... It's who do you trust? I trusted the dog although he had a bad habit of pawing at it.

[Ceelvain]

To really know if there's bomb detectors, just leave a bag of bomb smelling-compounds. If there's one, you'll be the first ones to know. :D

[diyan]

fit that device on dog's body
it's a best solution for detection

[LordSlag]

I regard this to be irrelevant. No one's Rights should be subject to a human's opinion on the contents of the mind of a dog.
