EXaminer SX explosives detection system to be showcased at Airport Show 2009

Built on the proven eXaminer 3DX computed tomography (CT) technology platform, the low-cost eXaminer SX features expanded imaging capabilities and meets TSA's standards for explosives detection within a lighter, smaller framed system.

The adaptable streamlined eXaminer SX is suitable for airport lobbies, baggage make-up areas and can also be fully integrated with baggage handling systems. The system's flexible networking capability also enables eXaminer SX and eXaminer 3DX systems of any configuration to be linked
together.

Using 3-D Continuous Flow CT technology, the SX generates high resolution 3-D color images in real time, including 360-degree rotational views of entire bags as well as individual threat objects. With the eXaminer SX's advanced image enhancement and threat assessment tools, operators can quickly and confidently clear bags for flight or designate bags for search.

Tom Ripp, president of L-3 Security & Detection Systems, said:

"The industry demands reliable threat detection with a high degree of operational efficiency for airports of every size and capacity."

Ripp added, "The evolution of the eXaminer product line to include the now-certified eXaminer SX further demonstrates L-3's dedication to developing scalable platforms for our cutting-edge technologies. With its expanded capabilities, smaller footprint and compliance with current detection standards, the low-cost SX delivers excellent value for screening operations of any size."
