Boston Marathon Attack April 15, 2013 117 th running of the Boston Marathon witnessed the same all-out-mobilization of officers, bomb-sniffing dogs and explosive specialists as was in place for the previous years race. Dogs swept the area for explosives twice before the first runners crossed the line Police Commissioner Davis said. 11 x K-9s were assigned (4 x Boston PD & 7 x Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority) Same as the previous year. There was a NEW Security Gap Body-worn Explosives in transit
What is a Vapor Wake K-9 Team? The Vapor Wake Detection (VWD) K-9 Team has the ability and training to detect carried or body-worn explosives. (Narcotics & Weapons) The VWD K-9 samples the plume of air coming off a person and/or what they are carrying as the person passes through a choke point or within a crowd. A VWD K-9 can also detect an explosives vapor-wake after the person has transited an area and follow the vapor-wake to the explosive source. The Vapor Wake K-9 is obedient to Odor, not People.

ODOR PLUMES Through Penn State University work we learned; The Velocity Heat Transfer created is enough to provide an Active transportation system for particles. That Human Heat plumes were significantly greater and more dynamic than suspected. No Explosive component loss during plume transportation.

Vapor Wake Breed Selection Auburn University conducted a global search amongst working dog breeds for possible vapor wake detection candidates. The Labrador was favored (No1 domestic pet US, UK, Europe) for further testing. Initial Vapor Wake concepts called for a non-intrusive, environmentally & socially trained canine, which could be accepted by the public amongst which it would be searching.

Vapor Wake PATENT Vapor Wake is a patented technology, patent number 8931327, developed by Auburn University. Dynamic canine tracking method for hazardous and illicit substances In operation the, method is a "dog-driven" detection method which is distinguished from traditional canine detection methods which are "handler driven. Vapor Wake canines are trained to survey the air and detect explosive particles left behind in a person(s) wake, while they are in transit / moving.
