Morpho Detection, Inc., part of the Safran group’s security business, has been awarded with a contract worth up to $50 million to supply the Israel Airports Authority (IAA) with its “System of Systems,” the most advanced checked baggage explosives detection system (EDS) available. The Morpho Detection System of Systems consists of an X-ray Diffraction-based XRD 3500™ EDS fully integrated with one or more CTX 9000 DSi™ Computed Tomography-based EDS. The use of orthogonal CT and XRD technologies delivers unparalleled levels of detection and allows airport security operators to enhance security, reduce cost and improve the passenger experience by dramatically reducing false alarms and resultant manual inspections of bags.
