Business Wire
L3 Technologies (NYSE:LLL) announced today that its ClearScan®
automated explosives detection system for carry-on baggage is the
first to pass the new European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC-EU)
C3 Standard under ECAC’s testing program. This standard enables
passengers to keep electronics and liquids in their carry-on bags,
expediting checkpoint traffic with an enhanced level of security
screening.
This follows L3’s June 2017 achievement of the C2 Standard,
which allows electronic devices, but not liquids, to stay in
carry-on bags. In the United States, ClearScan also passed the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) certification in April
2017.
“L3 is committed to providing the most reliable and innovative
screening systems that combine safety and convenience for air
passengers worldwide,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, L3’s President
and Chief Operating Officer. “We are proud to be the first company
to pass the enhanced C3 detection standard with our ClearScan
system as we continue to improve our technologies for the benefit
of our customers. Our strategy is to remain closely aligned with
the evolving needs of the traveling public to ensure a safe and
improved experience at airports across the globe.”
Mr. Kubasik added that a major European airport has placed an
order for 25 ClearScan systems, with the potential for up to 30
additional units.
ClearScan has proved its superior performance with the largest
operational deployment of such systems across the world market,
having scanned more than two million bags to date. The
state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) system offers the
smallest footprint of any available checkpoint CT device, making it
easy to integrate into existing checkpoints. As new threats emerge,
the ClearScan upgradable software platform can readily incorporate
new algorithms.
