Smiths Detection will provide preventative and corrective
maintenance for Explosive Detection Systems (EDS), which includes
their CTX 5800, CTX 9000, CTX 9400 and CTX 9800 SEIO scanners, as
well as associated networking equipment. To date, Smiths Detection
has 486 EDS systems operating in 41 airports across the United
States.
The TSA has been setting records in the number of passengers
they are screening, most recently on July 7, 2024 when 3 million
passengers were screened in a single day. In 2023, the TSA screened
over 858 million passengers, with the daily average being 2.4
million people. Air travel demand is projected to double by 2040
according to the International Air Transport Association and the
service and maintenance of security screening systems will be
critical to meeting this demand.
