Explosives detection scanner HCVG

for cargofor narcotics detectionfor vehicles

Overview
The HCVG X-ray system uses a single scan to screen whole trucks (cabin included), containers and vehicles for threats such as explosives, narcotics, weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and contraband, and for manifest verification, reducing the need for manual inspection.

Imaging and performance
The system provides radioscopic images with organic and inorganic material discrimination and colourisation based on atomic number, allowing rapid and reliable assessment of cargo and vehicle contents from a single scan. The HCVG viZual series uses an accelerator delivering an interlaced energy from 4/6 MeV and offers steel penetration ranging from 320 mm to 400 mm while providing high throughput.

Optional capabilities
When equipped with the optional iCmore radioactivity capability, the HCVG can simultaneously perform X-ray inspection and analyse for radioactive gamma and/or neutron materials within the container or vehicle.

Operation and deployment
The system features the DaiSy graphical user interface for X-ray image analysis and supports use of a remote pool of operators to optimise team size. Its modular design allows relocation and adaptation to customer-specific needs, requiring a minimal footprint and external infrastructure while meeting international security-screening requirements.
