Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced that it has received up to $2.6 million of funding from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for upgrade of COBRA DualUseTM threat detection systems. Built on Analogic's proprietary 3-D computed tomography (CT) technology, the COBRA DualUse system screens both carry-on and checked baggage, improving airport efficiency and security.

Jim Green, Analogic's president and CEO, commented, "The COBRA DualUse system advances CT threat-detection capabilities at the checkpoint, particularly at small and medium-sized airports. We value our partnership with TSA and look forward to the deployment of this innovative and cost effective technology."

Analogic designed the COBRA DualUse system to improve operational efficiency and lower lifecycle costs while providing superior threat detection for both checkpoint and checked applications. System benefits include:

  1. Reduced Cost:  A single system with both checkpoint and checked baggage capabilities that lowers overall acquisition, deployment, and maintenance costs;
  2. Enhanced Security:  Checkpoint system that provides TSA-certified checked-baggage screening capability; and
  3. Increased Throughput:  Laptops can remain in bags; up to 30 percent increase compared to current checkpoint technologies.

Analogic's CT technology meets the highest TSA standard for certified threat detection. Over the past fifteen years, Analogic has developed and deployed more than 1000 state-of-the-art threat-detection systems and subsystems for use in airports around the world. Analogic provides innovative solutions for a wide spectrum of customers ranging from small regional airports to large international hubs.
