Smiths Detection has won a £2 million contract to supply London’s Gatwick Airport with advanced x-ray scanners for hold baggage as a European Union deadline for tougher security standards approaches.

Smiths Detection President, Stephen Phipson said, “This order from the UK’s second biggest airport demonstrates its confidence in our advanced X-ray systems in terms of reliability, detection capability, image quality and life cycle costs. It is also another step towards a much-needed international harmonisation of aviation security.”

Smiths Detection is one of the world’s leading providers of government regulated security systems detecting chemical and biological agents, explosives, weapons and contraband.
