3DX-Ray has announced the successful sale of two units of its ThreatScan-AS1(ISC) Portable X-Ray system in Africa. The customer is an important unnamed African Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unit and the system has been supplied for use in counter EOD operations.
Vincent Deery, 3DX-Ray CEO said: “We are especially pleased about this sale because it is an important landmark in our sales strategy. Whilst we have been supplying our systems to EOD agencies all over the world for many years, this is the first sale of our recently released highest performing fully integrated system into the African market, which is a fast growing and increasingly important market to 3DX-Ray.”
According to the company, the ThreatScan-AS1(ISC) is a robust amorphous silicon portable X-ray inspection system. It comprises, as standard, a detector panel with an imaging area of 430mm x 347mm, a new high penetration 150kV generator and a laptop along with batteries, chargers, user-friendly 3DX-RAY ThreatSpect software, wireless communication and transport case. The AS1(ISC) is simple to use and produces extremely high quality, sub-millimetre resolution images in real time.
The system is fully integrated, with a primary display, computer, communications and power supplies consolidated into a single, waterproof case. A secondary display tablet offers high flexibility in deployment to meet the wide variety of user applications and threat scenarios.
3DX-Ray says that the ThreatScan-AS1(ISC) is ideal for the needs of the EOD community and also for inspection of suspect bags and packages in locations such as mass transit rail and bus stations, shopping malls, airports, stadia and sports arenas. The system is designed for ease of deployment and use providing maximum imaging capability in one integrated system by first responders such as police, military and private and government security agencies.
3DX-Ray are exhibiting the ThreatScan-AS1(ISC) system at Intersec Dubai expo in the UAE, from 17-19 January 2023.
