L-3 To Demonstrate Its ProVision 2 Compact Advanced Passenger Screener At AVSEC
A new second-generation passenger scanner will be demonstrated by L-3 Communications at the AVSEC World trade show, March 5–7, in New York City. The ProVision 2 system, which offers Automatic Target Detection (ATD) capability with a smaller overall footprint, is being marketed for aviation applications and is currently under review for TSA certification.
The ProVision 2 offers a smaller footprint and lower height for limited-space checkpoint areas and is targeted for aviation screening applications. Its streamlined exterior design conserves space while maintaining the same interior area as earlier models. The system offers the same proven, image-free checkpoint detection and throughput as the ProVision ATD – the only TSA- and EU-approved aviation passenger screening solution with automated target recognition software. It quickly screens personnel using safe millimeter wave (MMW) technology to automatically detect concealed objects made of a wide range of materials – both metallic and non-metallic.
L-3 Security & Detection Systems (SDS) has more than 50,000 systems deployed and supported around the globe, and is a supplier of security screening solutions. For more than 30 years, L-3 SDS has developed and manufactured products using advanced technologies that include 3-D computed tomography; automated, conventional and high-energy X-ray; active millimeter wave imaging; metal detection; and energetic trace explosives detection.
