Analogic Corporation Receives New Order for Its
EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography Systems
The EXACT is the heart of L-3’s eXaminer 3DX®, a certified Explosives Detection System (EDS) that has been installed at many major airports across the United States. Boston’s Logan International Airport, a world leader in aviation security, has 44 units. More than 650 systems are installed in airports around the world, including Israel’s new Ben Gurion terminal.
John Wood, Analogic President and CEO, said, “The recent terrorist threats in London reinforce the importance of having advanced screening systems in place for both checked and carry-on baggage. We expect that a number of units from this new L-3 order will be upgraded to our new AN6400, once the final field trials for Analogic’s new upgrade kit are completed at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. Those trials are scheduled to begin in October.” The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) certified the AN6400, a major system upgrade for existing EXACT systems, in May 2005. The upgraded system is marketed worldwide by L-3 as the eXaminer 3DX 6500D. Analogic’s upgrade kit was developed as part of the TSA’s Phoenix Category I Program, and includes a significant reduction in the false-alarm rate, increased throughput to 550 bags an hour, dual-energy detection capability, and an entirely new workstation with advanced 3-D threat-imaging software.
Analogic Corporation is a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced health and security systems and subsystems sold primarily to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The Company is recognized worldwide for advancing the state of the art in Computed Tomography (CT), Digital Radiography (DR), Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Patient Monitoring.
