In this work, we presented the results of research and manufacture of NO2 explosion detection gas sensors for military application. The gas sensor was fabricated based on Zn2SnO4 semiconductor metal oxide material. The results of material analysis, sensor fabrication, and measurement of NO2 sensitivity have been carried out. The results showed that the manufactured gas sensor was capable of detecting NO2 explosives with low concentration, suitable for military applications such as ammunition depots, gunpowder depots, mines.
