The MDS system was developed for the task of detecting hidden persons on vehicles and in their cargo. The control is carried out by special sensors, which are placed on the vehicle and transmit measured data to a computer with MDS software. The acquisition and evaluation of the measurement data takes about 30 seconds. Including placing and removing the sensors, the total control time is usually less than 2 minutes.

The MDS Portable fits easily into any car and is thus practically everywhere applicable.
