One of the important technologies for protecting civilian life from terrorist attacks is explosive detection techniques. The global incidence of terrorist activities has been considerably reduced by the development of explosive detection techniques, which has been made possible by ongoing technology improvements. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are one of these developments that has become an innovative tool for explosives detection. This work explores recent empirical research on the application of WSNs to explosives detection and includes statistical analysis of the investigations. Wireless sensor network with compatible specialized sensors is required for effective explosive detection. Three main wireless sensor system aspects that are relevant to explosives detection are covered in this research. It first looks at how scalable wireless sensors are in terms of explosives detection technologies. In the second section, it looks at the mobility and communication capabilities of WSNs and sensors in explosives detecting systems. Finally, it highlights potential hazards and weaknesses and addresses the crucial topic of data security inside wireless sensor networks used for explosive detection. The study also suggests incorporating drone assisted detection as a novel way to improve the coverage and effectiveness of explosives detection systems, adding to the continuous advancement of security technologies meant to shield civilian populations from terrorist threats.
