Optosecurity is providing its OptoScreener and eVelocity systems under the contract. OptoScreener retrofits into existing X-ray detection platforms to automatically detect liquid explosives, other liquid threats, bottles, firearms and firearm parts, and other threats.
eVelocity is a solution that allows airports to collect and integrate real-time operational data from multivendor X-ray machines. Analysis of the data is done using queuing services and image analysis of scanned items.
