Detection has installed its new Advanced Threat Identification X-ray (aTiX) systems in all three major Washington D.C. area airports.
The
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has upgraded security checkpoints at Washington Dulles International (IAD), Baltimore/Washington
International (BWI) and Reagan National Airports (DCA) with the sophisticated systems that provide more detailed analysis of carry-on baggage.
Unlike conventional X-ray systems, aTiX captures multiple views of carry-on bags in a single sweep. The system also includes powerful software
algorithms which help the operator to detect potentially harmful items.
Stephen
Phipson, Group Managing Director of Smiths Detection, said, “aTiX technology represents a major advance in checkpoint security,
bringing greater threat detection accuracy while potentially reducing wait times for passengers. The systems have already proved very
successful in UK airports.”
The TSA also recently completed airport upgrades to aTiX at
Albuquerque and
Denver International airports.
