“This innovative center was designed to showcase our integrated
checkpoint screening technologies and serve as an interactive venue to
share ideas with our government and private security partners,” said
Todd W. Gautier, L3’s Senior Vice President and President of its
Electronic Systems segment. “Through collaborative demonstrations, our
customers can see how our comprehensive screening solutions improve
safety and operational efficiency while enhancing the passenger
experience at a compelling cost of purchase and product sustainment.”
The Experience Center features L3’s innovative technology and automation
solutions for aviation and critical infrastructure checkpoints. The
6,000-square-foot space includes L3’s widely deployed ProVision®
2 body scanner, ClearScan® checkpoint computed tomography
(CT) cabin baggage scanner, Mach-SmartLane® automated tray
return system, B220 HT™ explosives trace detector, ACX™ 6.4-MV X-ray
baggage scanner and Mach-SEMS®, L3’s security efficiency
management software integrated monitoring system.
ClearScan’s enhanced CT detection capabilities enable passengers to keep
certain electronics and liquids in their bags. At the center, ClearScan
is integrated with L3’s Mach-SmartLane automated diverter lane, which
automatically routes suspect bags to a search area, expediting cleared
bags on their way to the pickup point.
ClearScan is the first checkpoint CT solution to receive both
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Tier II and European Civil
Aviation Conference (ECAC) C3 certifications. Its multiple detection
algorithms and auxiliary hardware have scanned more than 10 million bags
at major airports in the U.S., the Netherlands, Singapore, the U.K.,
Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey and South Africa.
