Safe and legal global transport is essential to human welfare, but it demands that customs authorities implement security regulations with a special focus on illicit goods. To enable enforcement of regulations tackling illicit goods trafficking, customs authorities have expressed their need for portable, affordable, non-intrusive, reliable screening technologies aiming to facilitate on-site and rapid inspections. The current technologies are mainly based on X-ray screening, but have its limitations in detecting illicit goods, are very expensive and the process is time consuming. This makes that currently less than 5% of the containers may be inspected, which is undesirable for customs authorities and society. In the METEOR project, the consortium will develop a prototype of a portable and versatile air sampling-based screening system. This will enable customs administrations worldwide to rapidly and reliably inspect for the presence of illicit goods. The METEOR technology will provide a new concept of cargo screening detector with a highly efficient air sampling technique and the ion mobility multidetector sensing technology. The METEOR analyser relies on a very innovative concept of a multi-detector differential mobility analyser (DMA), that classifies molecular ions based upon their electrical mobility. This generates a chemical fingerprint of the samples, and after the processing with non-targeted screening techniques, it is possible to accurately classify and detect the threats. The focus will be on the detection of illicit drugs, but also explosives and other substances. The goal is to develop the METEOR technology up to TRL7, and validate it in the operational environment. This is done by the four customs administrations (The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Ireland) involved in the project, that cover some of the main ports in Europe

安全和法律的全球运输对人类福祉至关重要，但它要求海关当局执行安全条例，特别注重非法货物。为了能够执行打击非法货物贩运的条例，海关当局表示需要便携、负担得起、非侵入性、可靠的筛查技术，以便利现场快速检查。目前的技术主要是基于X射线筛查，但在检测非法货物方面有其局限性，非常昂贵且过程耗时。这使得目前只有不到5%的集装箱可以被检查，这对于海关当局和社会来说是不期望的。在METEOR项目中，该集团将开发一种便携式多功能空气取样筛选系统原型。这将使世界各地的海关当局能够迅速和可靠地检查是否存在非法货物。METEOR技术将提供一种新概念的货物筛查探测器，具有高效的空气采样技术和离子迁移率多探测器传感技术。METEOR分析仪依赖于多检测器差分迁移率分析仪（DMA）的创新概念，该分析仪根据分子离子的电迁移率对其进行分类。这会产生样本的化学指纹，在用非目标筛选技术处理后，可以准确地分类和检测威胁。重点将是侦查非法药物，但也包括爆炸物和其他物质。目标是将METEOR技术开发到TRL7，并在操作环境中对其进行验证。这是由参与该项目的四个海关管理局（荷兰、比利时、西班牙和爱尔兰）完成的，涵盖欧洲的一些主要港口
