Centennial Airport, in Centennial, Connecticut, will deploy a new facility security system that combines the Aquila thermal pan and tilt camera system from Liteye Systems Inc. and the Blighter B400 series electronic scanning ground radar system from Blighter Surveillance Systems to deliver a ring of security over the facility. The combination of the two systems will utilise the radar to scan and detect moving vehicles, persons (including “crawlers”) and wildlife over a wide area, slewing the thermal camera system to track those intrusions and allow fast identification of any possible threat.
“After seeing first-hand the capabilities of these two systems, I knew they would be valuable to the security of our airport,” said Robert Olislagers, director
Smiths Detection’s eqo Wins Key EU Standard 2 Approval
Smiths Detection’s eqo™ millimetre-wave people screener has passed the ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference) Standard 2 threat detection test. Approval means eqo, operating at the highest performance standard specified by the regulatory authorities, can now be used as the primary screening method for passengers passing through European Union airports. All security scanners installed in EU airports from 2019 onwards must have Standard 2 compliance. The screening system, using non-ionising technology, completes a scan in seconds to locate concealed weapons, including 3D printed guns, explosives or contraband. It provides full 360-degree body coverage and presents an instant result on completion of the scan. Full privacy is provided through the use of a generic mannequin image to indicate the position of any suspicious item to the operator.
