Smiths Detection Installs First eqo Scanners in Asian Airports
Smiths Detection’s advanced eqo body imaging system, which use electronic, real-time imaging to detect concealed weapons or explosives, has been installed at three South Korean airports, the first deployment in Asia. The three systems are being used as additional screening for passengers travelling through Gimpo, Gimhae, and Jeju airports. eqo’s patented, millimetre-wave imaging provides a clear, moving picture of the person in front of a flat panel in a standard checkpoint layout. A remote operator can then check for any threat

items – metal, non-metallic or liquid - hidden beneath clothing. Using a fraction of the footprint of conventional scanners, eqo’s open-plan design helps speed passenger throughput. Travellers just have to pause to face the panel and then turn around before continuing their journey. In addition to fully remote operation that provides anonymity, privacy filters such as face blurring are built into the system. The equipment is also programmed to be incapable of storing, transmitting or printing images. They are already installed at other

provides investment protection through its modular design, which can be easily expanded in the field from one or two views up to a three-view configuration to address emerging threats. L-3 equipment is currently screening air cargo ranging from containers of fruits and vegetables to electronics, and operates at shipping, forwarding and independent cargo screening facilities (ICSF).
Rapiscan Systems has announced that it was awarded an approximate $3 million order from an undisclosed United States Government Agency for its newly released Rapiscan Secure 1000MP (modular and portable). The Rapiscan Secure 1000MP was developed
specifically for applications that require rapid deployment, mobility and durability, as well as superior threat detection. The system provides the same detection capabilities as the Rapiscan Secure 1000 Single Pose solution that is being deployed by airports worldwide, but in a portable configuration. The system produces high-resolution images that enable detection of concealed threats and contraband items. The Rapiscan Secure 1000MP is ideal for high security environments because both organic (i.e. solid and liquid explosives, narcotics, ceramic weapons, etc.) and inorganic (i.e. metal) materials are easily identified in the resulting image.
