WOBURN, Mass., November 12, 2008 – L-3 Security & Detection Systems announced today the introduction of the ACX 6.4-MV, a new checkpoint screening system that combines L-3’s automated explosives detection technology with multi-view X-ray screening. This enables security personnel to detect explosives and other suspicious objects more accurately. The upgradeable ACX-6.4-MV is available in one-, two- or three-view configurations.
“Checkpoint needs change over time. The inherent flexibility of the ACX 6.4-MV protects facilities’ checkpoint investments,” said Thomas Ripp, president of L-3 Security & Detection Systems. “The system can be upgraded in the field in just hours, making the ACX 6.4-MV the ideal solution for both facilities with intense checkpoint needs as well as those with modest requirements.”
The ACX 6.4-MV presents high-clarity images that allow operators to quickly spot weapons or other prohibited objects. The system’s explosives detection technology processes bag images in real-time and automatically alerts operators to suspected explosives. The quality of the information provided by the ACX 6.4-MV reduces false alarms, which significantly shortens bag scan times. This is a key benefit to high-volume checkpoints such as those in airports.
The modular system expands easily allowing facilities to add up to three views through a simple field upgrade. The three-view system delivers enhanced explosives detection, including automated detection of liquids, a growing focus of checkpoint screening efforts. The system can also support more streamlined checkpoint processes, such as the screening of laptops for explosives while they remain in bags.
The most compact system in its class, the ACX 6.4-MV integrates easily into existing checkpoints without costly reconfigurations. It is also compatible with existing conveyors, roller tables and bin return systems, helping to keep deployment costs low.
