Container Scanning System

Non-intrusive mobile scanning wherever it is needed.vechicles-scanners

ur versatile All-Terrain VACIS mobile scanning system allows customs and security agents to search vehicles and cargo for weapons, contraband and other suspicious items in remote locations and difficult terrain.

Applications

Featuring our proven, reliable gamma-ray imaging technology mounted on a rugged four-wheel-drive commercial pickup truck chassis, the All-Terrain VACIS system brings non-intrusive inspection capability wherever it’s needed. The system is ideal for assisting inspection operations at temporary or surprise checkpoints on unpaved roads or off-road in hard-to-reach locations.


Features

The flexible All-Terrain VACIS system supports a variety of inspection requirements. For highest throughput, the system can operate as a portal, with vehicles driving through the stationary system. In moving mode, the system’s vehicle platform and source cart move synchronously past unoccupied vehicles, scanning them from bumper to bumper.

To reach rugged, remote locations, the All-Terrain VACIS system is implemented on a heavy-duty commercial pickup truck chassis with off-road four-wheel-drive capability and a four-seat cab. Our patented detector technology enables trained inspectors to view the contents of closed vehicles and containers through more than six inches of steel. Yet the system’s direct radiation dose per scan to cargo is extremely low — hundreds of times less than a typical dental X-ray — and the scatter dose to drivers, operators, and bystanders is even lower.

Leidos is a world leader in non-intrusive imaging technology, with hundreds of systems installed for government and commercial clients around the world. Every VACIS system is available with our dedicated installation, training, maintenance and technical support.

VACIS® M6500 Mobile Inspection System

A versatile, compact system for scanning vehicles and cargo.

The VACIS M6500 system uses low-dose, dual-energy X-ray to scan trucks, cargo containers, cars and other vehicles. The system scans while stationary or in motion, and can even scan occupied vehicles. Detailed, color-coded images help inspectors locate weapons, explosives, drugs, undeclared cargo and other contraband.


Features

The VACIS M6500 system offers a powerful combination of features.

  • Compact mobile platform: Mounted on a lightweight commercial truck chassis, the system works in tight spaces and drives on ordinary roads, typically without a commercial driver’s license.
  • Full-vehicle scanning: The system scans the entire target vehicle bumper-to-bumper, all the way down to the axles. It can also be configured to scan just the cargo, not the driver cab.
  • High throughput: Operating as a stationary portal, the system can scan 150 vehicles per hour or more, scanning automatically as they drive through without stopping. Scanning in motion, the system can scan 60 stationary vehicles per hour or more.
  • Low-dose X-ray: The system penetrates all but the densest cargo using a very low radiation dose. This low dose reduces the system’s operating footprint, increases throughput, and enhances safety.
  • Material discrimination: Color-coded images distinguish organic materials such as explosives and drugs from inorganic materials such as guns and shielded objects.
  • Scanning occupied vehicles: The system meets ANSI and IEC standards for scanning people in security operations.
  • Fast deployment: The system can be deployed for use or stowed for transport in about 10 minutes.
  • Entirely self-contained: The system operates using its own power generator or standard 220 VAC shore power.

Leidos is a world leader in nonintrusive inspection technology, with hundreds of systems installed for government and commercial clients around the world. Every VACIS system is available with our dedicated installation, training, maintenance and technical support.

With a controlled access area only slightly larger than the system itself, the VACIS M6500 system can be used in tight spaces. The system can travel on standard roads to get where it’s needed and can be ready for use ten minutes or less after arrival.

VACIS® IP6500 FullScan Integrated Cargo Inspection System

X-ray imaging, radiation identification and full-vehicle scanning — a fast, integrated inspection solution.

The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system is a powerful, practical solution for scanning cargo containers, trucks and other vehicles in high-volume operations. Its x-ray imaging and radiation scanning help security personnel intercept weapons, nuclear material and other contraband hidden in containers. It can scan entire vehicles, bumper to bumper and roof to tires, including occupants. And with its high throughput and small footprint, the system is ideal for seaports and other high-volume cargo facilities.


Features

The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system provides a powerful combination of scanning features:

  • High-energy x-ray imaging can reveal contraband through more than a foot of steel. And with its low radiation dose, the system can be used in very limited space.
  • Material discrimination distinguishes light, organic material from dense, inorganic material.
  • Radiation detection can detect, locate and identify even heavily shielded special nuclear material (SNM) with a false alarm rate of less than 1 in 10,000 — meeting or exceeding the challenging ANSI N42.38-2006 standard.
  • Optical character recognition (OCR) identifies each container as it is scanned.

The system quickly integrates the scanning images and data for each container in the system database. Security personnel at viewer workstations in nearby or remote locations can view integrated images and data for any container at any time.


Benefits

The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system is designed for practical operation at busy facilities. Built for high throughput, the system can scan large numbers of containers in the normal flow of traffic at gates or other checkpoints, without requiring drivers or passengers to exit the vehicle. With its small footprint and low radiation dose, the system can be used in very limited space. And by identifying radioactive isotopes, the system can greatly reduce the need for secondary inspection.

The system’s component technologies are now operating at ports, border crossings and other facilities around the world. The system is backed by our worldwide service organization, providing high-quality installation, training, maintenance and technical support.

VACIS® XPL Passenger Vehicle Scanning System

A compact, high-throughput, full-vehicle scanning solution for busy checkpoints.

The VACIS® XPL system scans passenger cars and other light vehicles to help security personnel search for weapons, explosives, drugs and other threats. The system scans entire vehicles bumper to bumper in seconds as they drive through without stopping. Detailed images reveal even small items such as handguns, and color coding highlights explosives, drugs and other organic materials. The system’s low X-ray dose allows drivers and passengers to remain in the vehicle while it is scanned, enabling the system to scan 150 vehicles per hour or more in the normal flow of checkpoint traffic.


Features

The VACIS XPL system provides a powerful combination of scanning features:

  • Free-flow operation screens occupied vehicles at typical checkpoint speeds in non-stop traffic flow.
  • Bumper-to-bumper scanning gives inspectors a top-down view of every part of the vehicle.
  • High-resolution X-ray imaging helps inspectors locate weapons, explosives, drugs and other threats.
  • Material discrimination helps inspectors locate explosives, drugs and other organic threat materials.
  • Easy Match feature automatically compares the current scan with prior scans of the same vehicle to help inspectors spot new objects.
  • Compact system can be installed in a few hours in typical existing vehicle lanes.
  • VACIS XPL Mobile option lets users relocate the system quickly with no disassembly.
  • Remote, centralized image analysis can be performed nearby or hundreds of miles away.
  • Low X-ray dose complies with ANSI N43.17 dose limits.
