People Screening Station in 20-foot Shipping Container

June 6th, 2008 · No Comments

via Business Wire - Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of passive millimeter wave concealed object detection and people screening technology, has been awarded contract to supply the rugged people screening stations to U.S. Army for Deployment in Middle East. People Screening Station Top picture: Brijot ScanPort (exterior open door view) is an engineered solution that optimizes passive millimeter wave technology to achieve a rugged, portable solution for military and other environments.

ScanPort was conceived in response to the U.S. Army’s request for a system to manage people screening at standoff locations as a prerequisite for entrance to secured military bases. The military’s extreme outdoor locations posed a challenge in deploying screening technology in a way that achieved standoff, remote monitoring, and detected improvised explosive device (IED) suicide bombs on the body and in hand carried baggage without endangering security personnel. Brijot met the challenge by introducing a container concept that is quickly deployed, screens people and baggage, and provides a platform to emplace other advanced force protection technologies.

ScanPort consists of a standard 20-foot ISO shipping container that contains two GEN 2 whole body imaging systems, providing simultaneous front and back real-time screening and concealed object detection. ScanPort is equipped as a fully automated access control system with electronically locked entry and exit doors operated by programmable logic control (PLC), air conditioning, lighting, and an X-ray baggage scanner. The nerve center for ScanPort is a customized Security Operations Center that is monitored remotely at a safe distance from imminent threats.
