August 4, 2013 · Chennai · When Reny Roy was assigned a project 15 years ago, she had no idea it would one day get a Washington DC debut as India’s first defense technology transfer to the United States. The project headed by Roy, a scientist at DRDO’s explosives lab in Pune, led to the creation of Explosive Detection Kit (EDK), which makes it easy to detect all kinds of explosive, especially those used by terrorists.
The kit was launched in Washington on Friday for production and sale in the US and other countries in the region, by Crowe and Company, a South Carolina firm.
It is currently undergoing tests by US military and other security agencies but may soon be headed for use by coalition forces in Afghanistan through a non-profit.

US grabs wallet-sized bomb detector created by Indian scientist
Yashwant Raj, Hindustan Times Washington, August 03, 2013
When Reny Roy was assigned a project 15 years ago, she had no idea it would one day get a Washington DC debut as India’s first defense technology transfer to the United States.
The project headed by Roy, a scientist at DRDO’s explosives lab in Pune, led to the creation of Explosive Detection Kit (EDK), which makes it easy to detect all kinds of explosive, especially those used by terrorists.
——
——- “It feels great,” said Roy after the launch with her boss SN Asthana, a man of few words, standing by her side.
Roy got the project “around 1997” with a brief to develop something to stop terrorists. But it was not a priority, not like DRDO’s more glamorous Agni, Arjun and the LCA projects.
15 Years ago this project was assigned to Reny Roy, at that time she was not aware of that one day Washington DC introduction as India’s first defense technology move to the United States.
The project head Roy, a scientist at DRDO’s explosives lab in Pune, lead to the formation of Explosive Detection Kit (EDK), which makes it simple to sense all kinds of explosive, particularly those used by terrorists all over world.
