The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX, which produces
high-resolution volumetric 3D images, is now a qualified product
eligible for TSA purchase
Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and
security inspection technologies, today announces that its HI-SCAN
6040 CTiX X-ray scanner has been added to the Transportation
Security Administration’s (TSA) Checkpoint Property Screening
System (CPSS) Mid-Size Qualified Products List (QPL). The TSA’s
CPSS program is designed to replace the previous generation of
X-ray scanners at airports across the US with the latest computed
tomography (CT) X-ray scanning technology.
Smiths Detection’s HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is now a qualified product
on the QPL, eligible for TSA purchase for mid-size systems. The
HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is a computed tomography (CT) X-ray scanner
producing high-resolution volumetric 3D images for quicker baggage
assessment, using both visual operator inspection and automated
object recognition, leading to low false-alarm rates. The scanner
allows for electronics and liquids to remain in bags, speeding up
passenger throughput, enhancing security and reducing
touchpoints.
The mid-size configuration is one of three configurations for
the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX. Mid-size configuration includes an automated
bag diverter at the decision point to be routed as suspect or
cleared, further enhancing passenger throughput and overall
experience.
Inder Reddy, President, Smiths Detection Inc. said: “We
are pleased to confirm that our HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX scanner has been
added to the TSA’s Mid-Sized Qualified Products List. At Smiths
Detection our goal is simple – to provide the security, peace of
mind and freedom of movement upon which the world depends – and
this has never been more important. CT technology equips airports
with powerful screening technology which strengthens security,
increases throughput and enhances the passenger experience.”
In 2019, Smiths Detection was awarded a contract to supply 300
Advanced Technology/ Computed Tomography (AT/CT) checkpoint systems
to airports across the US through the TSA’s AT/CT program. Per the
TSA contract, Smiths Detection manufactured 300 AT/CT systems in
Edgewood, MD and installed them across the US throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic.
