The OnGuard DualUse system will extend the flexible, automatic explosives and weapons detection capability currently available in larger airports to a wide range of smaller airports. Built on Analogic's proprietary 3-D Continuous-Flow computed tomography technology, the OnGuard system will be designed to accurately and automatically detect a wide variety of threats in both checked and carry-on baggage. In checkpoint mode, the OnGuard DualUse system will be configured to scan up to 450 bags and process more than 250 passengers per hour. In checked-baggage mode, it will be configured to scan up to 350 bags per hour. The system will include advanced liquid detection technology, reducing the need for passengers to remove liquids from their carry-on bags.
Peter Cempellin, VP and GM of Analogic's Security Systems Division, said, "This project is an important milestone as Analogic expands its market opportunity outside the checked-baggage arena. The OnGuard DualUse scanner will give smaller airports a cost-effective way to take advantage of CT technology for threat detection. We have also developed the capability to detect liquid explosives, giving passengers the added convenience of leaving liquids in their bags."
The introduction of the OnGuard system is an important step forward in providing advanced automatic threat detection capability to every airport. Small and mid-size airports, which typically rely on labor-intensive explosive trace detection (ETD) to screen checked baggage, can now take advantage of the most advanced explosives detection available. With the advent of dual-mode capability, this system can be used in checkpoint applications to detect weapons in carry-on luggage.
