The order, valued at more than $40 million, contains software and hardware upgrades that will enable airports to bring existing eXaminer systems forward to the most current product release without requiring the purchase of new base systems.
L-3’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA)-certified eXaminer features multi-slice computer tomography imaging technology that provides full 3D imaging to quickly and accurately scan entire objects.
In creating explosives detection equipment with flexible platforms that allow for expansion, and improvement, we have increased operational efficiency and cost effectiveness, said Thomas Ripp, president of L-3 Security and Detection Systems.
The system’s graphical user interface technology and advanced image processing tools include edge enhancement, monochrome reverse and high-resolution detailing. Additionally, flexible networking technology supports a mix of different eXaminer scanners and configurations on the same network.
eXaminer’s hardware upgrades are designed to increase efficiency and make integration with existing baggage handling equipment more convenient, including a one-meter-wide entrance tunnel, which senses bag size and automatically rotates bags for optimum presentation to the scanner; extra-long baggage capacity; and increased throughput rate up to 600 bags an hour when used as part of an integrated inline system.
