The selection of MS Tech's DUOSCAN™ explosives and narcotics trace detection systems for the new Adani Navi Mumbai International Airport marks a critical security investment for one of India's most ambitious infrastructure projects. Designed to handle up to 90 million passengers and 2.5 million tons of cargo annually, the airport requires advanced detection technologies to ensure safe operations while addressing growing smuggling challenges. This deployment, alongside expanded installations at Guwahati International Airport, strengthens aviation security across key Indian regions as passenger and cargo traffic increases.
The Navi Mumbai airport, inaugurated in December 2025, features state-of-the-art terminals, parallel runways, and India's largest planned general aviation facility. It will serve as a critical gateway for Mumbai region traffic, easing congestion at existing airports and supporting India's rapid aviation growth. The airport's modern cargo facilities are expected to accelerate trade and logistics, strengthening India's role in the global economy. MS Tech's systems will integrate with cutting-edge baggage systems to enhance security screening for both passenger and cargo operations.
MS Tech's DUOSCAN™ systems utilize the company's patented High-Frequency Quartz Crystal Microbalance nanotechnology sensors, which offer non-radioactive, environmentally friendly detection with self-calibrating and self-cleaning capabilities. According to CEO Doron Shalom, recurring procurements from Adani Airports demonstrate the reliability of MS Tech's HF-QCM nanotechnology sensors and explosives detection products. The company supplies detection systems across all Airports Authority of India airports, with products designed to improve checkpoint throughput and operational efficiency while maintaining high sensitivity levels.
The company's product portfolio includes multiple detection systems suitable for aviation security applications. The EXPLOSCAN, DUOSCAN, MULTISCAN and THREATSCAN systems detect explosives and narcotics traces and vapors, while the LIQUISCAN system specifically detects liquid explosives. These systems are operationally proven across various environmental conditions and temperatures, making them suitable for India's diverse climate regions.

The security implications extend beyond individual airport installations. As India's aviation sector expands rapidly, with increasing domestic and international traffic, advanced detection technologies become essential for maintaining security standards. The Guwahati installations specifically support enhanced screening at Northeast India's most important aviation hub, reinforcing regional connectivity while addressing security concerns. These deployments represent a strategic approach to aviation security that balances technological advancement with operational efficiency requirements in high-traffic environments.
