Analogic is recognized as a leading OEM supplier of advanced aviation security imaging equipment. As part of a government-funded grant to develop a checked luggage screening system, Analogic developed the first explosives detection multislice CT system in 1997, the only system able to generate 3-D images of the entire contents of a bag or parcel.

Analogic is continually working to develop even more advanced systems to meet the growing demands of airports and air travelers. Our systems are designed to detect a multitude of threats in a variety of airport settings, including the airports not equipped with inline baggage handling systems.

AN6000 EXACT® EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography –
Automatic Explosives Detection System

Analogic developed the EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography (EXACT) system (AN6000), the first explosives detection multislice CT system. The EXACT is the heart of the L-3 Communications government-certified eXaminer® 3DX EDS systems, installed in airports around the world to screen baggage for explosives and other threats that could bring down an airplane.

Analogic’s EXACT is first single-unit, second generation EDS to be certified by the United States Government. The EXACT, as part of the eXaminer 3DX, was the first system designed to be networked for use in-line.

Over 750 EXACT systems are installed in airports around the world, including 44 units at Boston’s Logan International Airport, a world leader in aviation security, as well as in Israel, Italy, the UK, Singapore, Japan, and Mexico.

The EXACT:

• Is the heart of L-3 Communications eXaminer 3DX government-certified EDS
• Has been installed in major airports around the world to screen checked baggage for explosives, weapons, and other threats
• Can scan up to 550 bags per hour
• Is able to generate three-dimensional images of the entire contents of a bag or parcel.
• Is available in-line or standalone mode

Working with L-3 Communications, Analogic is continually working to improve the eXaminer by adding capabilities and incorporating design changes that will protect our supply of critical components over time. The hardware upgrades that we develop will enable airports to upgrade eXaminer systems already in the field.

ANCX00 KING COBRA Automatic Explosives Detection System

Under another TSA contract, Analogic has modified the COBRA® design and architecture to create the KING COBRA, a reduced-size EDS system for checked baggage for small and mid-sized airports. The system is fast, efficient, and cost effective, and is scheduled to be submitted for certification later this year. The KING COBRA may be used to scan both checked and carry-on baggage at the same, smaller airports.

The KING COBRA:

• Has a large, 80-cm bore
• Can scan up to 200 bags per hour in standalone mode and up to 300 in in-line mode
• Provides enhanced, high-resolution 3-D images of all the contents of a bag or parcel, generated in real time
• Is available in four (4) different configurations
• Is designed for harsh environments

XLB1100 Automatic Explosives Detection System

The XLB (eXtra Large Bore) is an entirely new generation of more advanced, networkable EDSs for checked baggage for aircraft. Screeners see enhanced, 3-D, real-time images of the complete bag and threat objects, and a high-resolution 2-D projection image of all the contents in the bag. The XLB is scheduled to be submitted for certification late this year.

The XLB:

• Is designed to scan up to 1,100 bags per hour
• Has an extra-large, 1-m x 0.6-m bore
• Has the highest detection rates and lowest false-alarm rates in the industry
• Has a dual-energy system
• Provides “Any-to-Any” networking
• Features an innovative brushless power transmission
