Rapiscan Systems, a leading supplier of security inspection systems, is set to debut its latest explosive trace detection device, Detectra HX, for the first time in the Middle East alongside its cargo and vehicle inspection solutions at IDEX 2015.

IDEX 2015, an international defence exhibition and conference, will run from February 22 to 26 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
 
Detectra HX is a lightweight and low-cost handheld, explosive trace detection solution that features rapid and accurate detection, to ensure the high throughput and the high detection capabilities essential for law enforcement, event and border protection professionals, said a statement.

It can pick up a range of substances with a single sample resulting in a lower false alarm rate. Designed to minimise operating costs and increase uptime, it requires only two consumables to operate, making it easier to maintain compared to other available devices, it said.
 
The firm will also showcase the RXU Underside Reflexion system, among its cargo and vehicle inspection solutions capabilities with demonstrations.

The RXU has been designed to automatically inspect vehicles and cargo driving over the system to provide a fast and efficient method for screening the underside of vehicles. Available as a stand-alone inspection system, it can be installed so it is flush with the road surface or with associated vehicle ramps.

It will provide high-quality images with material separation capabilities to allow for the rapid detection of contraband or threats such as explosives, drugs, tobacco and people smuggling.
 
The event will also feature live demonstrations of Rapiscan’s latest radar-based threat-detection system, Counterbomber. 

The system can identify concealed person-borne threats, such as suicide vests and weapons even when the system operator is hundreds of metres away due to its state-of-the-art video-steered radar technology, said the statement.

It is an ideal solution for high profile locations that are targets for attack such as government buildings, transit systems, and military installations, it added - TradeArabia News Service
