L-3’s ProVision® 2 Security Scanner Receives EU CEP Approval
L-3 Security & Detection Systems (SDS) has announced that its ProVision® 2 checkpoint security scanner meets European aviation standards for security scanners following testing under the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) Common Evaluation Process (CEP). The ProVision 2 is an image-free system that automatically detects objects safely and effectively while ensuring passenger privacy. The ProVision 2 offers the ideal balance
between addressing regulatory requirements and meeting airport operational demands for high throughput and minimal false alarms. The passenger experience with the ProVision 2 is convenient, straightforward and efficient, requiring only a single position during a 1.5-second scan. The system uses safe millimetre wave technology to automatically detect potential aviation threats, both metallic and non-metallic, by highlighting any anomalies on a generic mannequin, protecting passenger privacy. The new compact design of the ProVision 2 offers the same effective checkpoint detection and throughput as the ProVision ATD, while fitting into tight checkpoint areas with low (2.4-metre/8-foot) ceilings.

Morpho’s Itemiser DX Desktop ETD Certified for Use in French Airports
Morpho (Safran), through its subsidiary Morpho Detection, Inc., has announced its Itemiser® DX desktop explosives trace detection (ETD) system has been certified by the Service Technique de l’Aviation Civile (STAC) in France. As a result of this certification, the sixth by a global regulatory agency, Itemiser DX is now available to quickly and accurately screen cabin and hold baggage, passengers, and cargo for explosives at airports throughout France. Itemiser DX incorporates Morpho’s ITMS® trace technology into a lightweight, portable desktop system that can detect residue from explosives on skin, clothing, parcels, bags, cargo, vehicles and other surfaces. In addition to STAC, Itemiser DX has been approved by the Transportation Security Administration, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, the Italian Department of Transport, U.K. Department for Transport, and the U.K. Home Office Scientific Development Branch. The availability of Itemiser DX and the handheld MobileTrace® ETD system, certified by STAC in 2012, gives airports in France a single partner to provide advanced trace detection solutions to meet the most demanding security programmes and challenges.
NICE Situator Selected by ProRail
NICE Systems has announced that ProRail, the government agency responsible for rail infrastructure in the Netherlands, is deploying NICE Situator to help identify, verify and manage security, safety, and operations in real time. The solution will also be instrumental in post-event investigation, analysis and the ongoing evaluation of event handling. NICE is partnering with Geodan, an expert in GIS and crisis management systems, to implement this project. From a single, centralised control
room, ProRail will be able to manage tens of thousands of incidents a year across the Netherlands’ rail systems, including on-track malfunctions, fire incidents and other crisis situations. With NICE Situator’s automated and semi-automated tools, together with predefined response plans, security operators will be able to rapidly and effectively respond to unfolding events as they occur. This is expected to enable ProRail to substantially decrease operational downtime caused by accidents. Hundreds of ProRail employees from across the organisation will play a role in the operation of the system and will benefit from improved communication, collaboration, and information sharing.
