L-3 x-ray air cargo screening system passes TSA muster

THE US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has put 12 of L-3 Security & Detection Systems products on its air cargo qualified technologies approved list, the company has announced.

L-3's air cargo portfolio of products screens both break-bulk and skid-based air cargo with systems covering TSA's small, medium and large x-ray classifications. It also offers shippers, forwarders and independent screeners a broad selection of technologies to meet their unique requirements, including systems with multi-view capabilities, advanced technology (AT) algorithms and certified explosives detection systems (EDS), reports Singapore-based Logistic Week.

"From the cost-effective PX 6.4 to the world-class CX-Pallet, L-3 is dedicated to providing and developing configurable screening solutions that meet stringent detection, throughput and cost of ownership criteria," said L-3 president Thomas Ripp.

L-3's TSA Air Cargo Qualified Systems address a full range of air cargo requirements to screen break-bulk with low-cost conventional x-ray systems (PX(tm) 6.4, PX-107(tm), PX-208(tm)), AT systems (ACX(r) 6.4, ACX 6.4-MV, VDS-108(tm), VIS-HR(tm), MVT-HR(r)) and certified EDS equipment (eXaminer(r) 3DX, eXaminer HTSA).

In addition, the company offers the PX-160P and CX-Pallet 6000 P DV to screen consolidated cargo on skids.

The Woburn, Massachusetts, company has been providing airports and shippers with a conventional and high-energy x-ray inspection for break-bulk, skids, pallets and ULDs for more than a decade. Its equipment screens cargo ranging from containers of fruits and vegetables to electronics and is currently in operation at shipping, forwarding and independent cargo screening facilities worldwide.
