Anchored by six CTX 9800 DSi™ that will screen all checked bags,
referred to as Level 1 screening, DME will also leverage two
HI-SCAN 10080 XCT and one XRD 3500™ for secondary screening and
alarm resolution. Combined, the integrated, multilayered
installation of Smiths Detection’s EDS systems will facilitate
automated hold baggage screening that reduces false alarms and time
consuming, potentially dangerous manual inspections.
Scheduled for deployment in the new Terminal 2 prior to the FIFA
World Cup being hosted in Russia in 2018, this contract expands the
long-term collaboration between DME and Smiths Detection.
“Smiths Detection commends DME for choosing the increased
detection, imaging and throughput capabilities resulting from a
multilayered hold baggage screening program,” said Irina
Batukhtina, Regional Sales Manager, Smiths Detection. “Combining
the industry’s largest service footprint with the capability to
integrate multiple, regulator-approved, technologies makes Smiths
Detection a reliable partner of choice for all airports.”
Powered by advanced computed tomography (CT) technology, both
CTX 9800 and the HI-SCAN 10080 XCT are capable of screening up to
1,800 bags per hour. Optimized to examine specific areas of a bag
identified as suspicious in the previous screening step, XRD 3500
utilizes X-ray Diffraction technology to accurately identify and
distinguish between potential threats and innocuous materials. As a
result of the scalability of Smiths Detection’s EDS systems,
threats, substances and cyber security enhancements can be added
over time via software upgrades – reducing the need to replace
hardware.
All Smiths Detection hold baggage EDS systems are approved by
the European Civil Aviation Conference as meeting European Union
Standard 3 requirements.
