GE Security has announced the availability of its integrated CTX 9000 DSi/XRD 3500 advanced technology explosives detection 'system of systems' for operational deployment.
The GE Security CTX/XRD integration is the first commercially available sensor-fusion offering for baggage screening. Sensor fusion integrates the sensors of two explosives detection systems (EDS) to optimise the collective performance at levels beyond the capability of either system operating alone.
The combined CTX 9000 DSi/XRD 3500 system is expected to better serve high-volume airports' growing baggage scanning needs by helping the airports and their security screening personnel improve the effectiveness and efficiency of checked bag screening. The marriage of computed tomography (CT) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technologies into one sensor-fused checked-bag screening 'system of systems' is expected to help reduce false alarm rates, and allow customers to enhance security and potentially drive down operational costs.
The GE CTX 9000 DSi system represents the latest in CTX technology. Designed to integrate with airport baggage handling systems (BHS), the CTX 9000 DSi system is TSA-certified and is often well suited to fast-paced airport environments. It is the highest operational throughput explosives detection system designed for BHS integration and its metre-wide conveyor belt and large tunnel opening can accommodate both large and standard-size bags.
The XRD 3500 explosives detection system is based on Coherent X-ray Scatter (CXRS), which uses molecular composition to identify threat materials.
