Fully Functional Automated Threat Detection (ATD)
Defender is the first general-public body scanner with fully functional automated threat detection (ATD). Examining raw images produces the best detection performance. However, privacy concerns have prompted the use of automated software for this task, insuring the raw images are never seen. Currently deployed solutions provide poor detection performance along with high false alarm rates. Automated Threat Detection (ATD), Tek84’s breakthrough software, provides superior detection with low false alarm rates:
Detection - False Alarms
Defender/Expert Automated Threat Detection (ATD) - As high as 80% - As low as 20%
Competition - As low as 4% - As high as 40%
Triple-Mode Screening
Defender uses Triple-Mode screening to scan passengers in three separate ways:
Backscatter:
To detect threats on the front and back
Forward scatter:
To detect threats on the sides and in loose clothing
Ground-level:
To detect threats on the feet and ankles
All of this advanced functionality is achieved in the industry’s smallest foot print – 5′ x 5′. This ensures that Defender can be installed and/or retrofitted into locations requiring the minimum amount of reconfiguration.
