Analogic gets funding from TSA for scanner system
Analogic Corp. received funding from the TSA for an upgraded scanner system to check baggage for explosives
Imaging equipment maker Analogic Corp. received funding from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for an upgraded scanner system to check baggage for explosives and other threats at smaller-sized airports.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
AP reports that the device, called the OnGuard checkpoint CT system, will be suited for small and medium-sized airports. It will provide advance threat detection at both checkpoints and with checked-baggage applications.
The upgrade will extend the flexible, automatic explosives and weapons detection capability currently available in larger airports to a wide range of smaller airports.
The first system is slated to be delivered during the company’s first fiscal quarter ending 31 October.
