OSI Systems Receives Certification for RTT® 80 Explosive Detection System
April 27 2015 - 8:05AM
Business Wire
OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS), today announced that its
Rapiscan RTT® 80 (Real Time Tomography) explosives detection system
(EDS) has achieved U.S. Transportation Security Laboratory
certification for airport checked-baggage screening.
Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems CEO, commented: “We are pleased that
RTT 80 has achieved this important regulatory milestone, meeting
the rigorous performance standards required by the Department of
Homeland Security.” Mr. Chopra continued: “We believe RTT can
deliver benefits to airports in terms of screening capacity,
reliability, security and cost of ownership and we appreciate TSA’s
approval of this ground-breaking technology.”
The RTT employs a proprietary, solid-state approach to provide
high-resolution, 3-D imaging. Its unique design allows for
high-speed inspection of hold baggage and air cargo, while also
meeting recent threat detection standards. RTT has also passed the
European Civil Aviation Conference’s (ECAC) HBS EDS Standard 3
threat detection requirement and has been deployed by airports
globally.
The company expects to submit its Rapiscan RTT® 110 explosives
detection system for TSA certification testing in fiscal 2016. The
RTT 110 employs the same underlying technology as the RTT 80, but
offers a larger tunnel size, capable of screening larger items.
