Services
X-ray Inspection
Our X-ray inspection systems use high-energy transmission technology to penetrate dense cargo and vehicles. Dual-energy imaging distinguishes material types while Z Backscatter technology reveals organic threats. These systems provide detailed imaging for threat detection in ports, borders, and critical infrastructure applications.
Radiation Detection
Our radiation detection solutions identify gamma and neutron sources with precision exceeding security standards. Systems like Guardian VM1000 and PM700 monitor pedestrian and vehicle traffic at borders and critical sites. Mobile units provide flexible deployment for nuclear safety and homeland security applications.
Optical Inspection
Gatekeeper optical systems use undercarriage imaging and facial recognition for vehicle authentication. These solutions detect anomalies in vehicle structures and verify occupants at military installations and border checkpoints. Over 1,500 global installations demonstrate proven reliability in high-security environments.
AI Analytics Software
InSight software applies machine learning to enhance image analysis. Features include anomaly detection, cargo characterization, and targeted threat recognition for firearms and contraband. This technology improves analyst efficiency through automated pattern recognition and historical image comparison capabilities.
Mobile Screening Systems
ZBV mobile systems combine X-ray and radiation detection in trailer-mounted platforms. These units provide rapid deployment for cargo and vehicle inspection at temporary checkpoints or high-risk locations. The systems maintain high-resolution imaging while offering operational flexibility across diverse security scenarios.
