Utilizing computed tomography (CT) and advanced explosives
detection algorithms, the compact system offers enhanced customer
convenience by allowing travelers to leave liquids and electronics
in their bags as they go through security. Featuring a scanning
capacity of over 500 bags per hour, with a false alarm rate that
dramatically reduces the need for an inconvenient and
time-consuming bag search, the system can significantly improve
airport checkpoint throughput and efficiency.
Along with ClearScan, L-3 is introducing IntelliCore™ – a
powerful checkpoint operations software solution. IntelliCore
delivers enhanced checkpoint security capabilities, including
remote screening, real-time operational monitoring and reporting,
image archive retrieval, and directed bag search, while
facilitating risk-based security operations. It seamlessly ties
together checkpoint screening into a highly flexible operation that
maximizes efficiency and improves traveler satisfaction while
enhancing security. Both ClearScan and IntelliCore are designed to
integrate with automated tray return systems.
“Enhancing security while facilitating passenger throughput,
coupled with the need to help our customers control their operating
costs, is a huge challenge,” said Tom Ripp, president of L-3
Security & Detection Systems (L-3 SDS). “Our new checkpoint
solution is designed to meet these needs. Together with L-3’s
ProVision™ security scanner, ClearScan and IntelliCore bring
comprehensive technologies to the checkpoint that improve threat
detection and increase passenger convenience and operating
efficiency.”
Mr. Ripp added, “This is a great example of an initiative that
has been funded and developed by L-3 SDS, leveraging our deep
experience in EDS-based explosives detection technology, including
advanced image processing and detection algorithms. We are very
excited to introduce this solution to our global customer
base.”
