In this work, methodologies and requirements for the standoff detection and the identification features chosen for this integrated system are described. The work aims to define a new approach to the problem through the integration of different technologies and tools in the operative field experiments. Some preliminary results in support of the suitability of the integration hypothesis proposed are presented. This study gives rise to an integrated system to be further tested in a real environment.
