The increased use of firearms in criminal and terrorist acts drives the need for development of technology in the area of ballistic analysis which enables efficient and successful prosecution of criminals by providing high quality bullet, cartridge and thus firearm matching evidence. Current ballistic analysis technologies perform poorly compared to DNA evidence and the leading technology providers only offer a highly restrictive system. Current technologies do not make use of the latest scientific and technological developments, and their approach severely hinders evidence sharing between LEA’s, using what should be compatible systems. This is specifically a problem for countries sharing a border, where sometimes bullets/cartridge cases have to be physically transported between countries to enable comparison. Ultimately this delays, and in some cases, prevents, the successful prosecution of criminals. This project will exploit the most recent scientific and technological advances to produce a cutting-edge technology which provides LEA with highly efficient, reliable, totally compatible and more cost-effective methods of generating/sharing ballistic evidence.

犯罪和恐怖活动中枪支使用的增加推动了弹道分析领域技术发展的需求，通过提供高质量的子弹、弹药筒以及枪支匹配证据，能够有效、成功地起诉罪犯。与 DNA 证据相比，当前的弹道分析技术表现不佳，并且领先的技术提供商仅提供高度限制性的系统。当前的技术并未利用最新的科学技术发展，其方法严重阻碍了 LEA 之间使用本应兼容的系统进行证据共享。对于共享边界的国家来说，这尤其是一个问题，有时必须在国家之间实际运输子弹/弹药箱才能进行比较。最终，这会拖延、在某些情况下甚至阻碍对罪犯的成功起诉。该项目将利用最新的科学技术进步来生产尖端技术，为 LEA 提供高效、可靠、完全兼容且更具成本效益的生成/共享弹道证据的方法。
