Spectrum San Diego Unveil the CarSCAN
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
Security is still an issue these days and with terrorism still a threat, the necessary precautions still have to be undertaken. And to make sure that invectives that can cause harm or even loss of life sneaking past security tactics, here is a great device being used that can help address this dilemma.
Spectrum San Diego, a proven innovator in the high-tech security screening market, today introduced CarSCAN, an ultra-low-dose dual-energy X-ray imaging system providing rapid and reliable detection of explosives, contraband and stowaways in cars and light trucks.
CarSCAN significantly increases detection capabilities at military checkpoints and other high-security locations. Concealed threats are quickly identified in vehicles traveling at normal checkpoint speeds, reducing wait times at border crossings and other high-volume inspection points.
CarSCAN’s patent pending technology provides actionable information to security personnel at border crossings, military bases, embassies, ports and other critical government and private facilities. The vehicle being inspected drives through the CarSCAN archway and the scanned image is displayed on the security officer’s monitor, much the same as an airport baggage scanner. Unlike previous generation vehicle scanners, dual-energy transmission imaging penetrates through the entire vehicle, greatly minimizing blind spots and highlighting potential threats in easily understandable color-coded images.
Spectrum San Diego’s demonstrations at FPED VII will showcase how this innovative technology can quickly identify potential threats in vehicles.
