Vehicle Scanner for "Car Bombs" |

Security and safety have increasingly become global priorities since
the beginning of the century. Terrorist objectives have
created new arenas for guerilla warfare. The Purdue Applied
Physics Laboratory, along with Raytheon Company and 2K Corporation,
have become involved in the efforts to create modern security
methods that allow for intense investigation with minimal
interruption of normal operations. It is necessary to deploy
systems that allow security agencies to conduct thorough searches
without incapacitating civilian activities. High-risk areas
such as military checkpoints, and other civil arenas like airports,
and high profile buildings need efficient security measures.
CarScreen is a portal system that protects entrance points to secure areas. It uses neutron interrogation technologies to detect Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's), and radiological threats. The CarScreen system is faster than any other competing technology. Each vehicle is investigated in a fully automated fashion to minimize the risks to personnel involved in conducting the security screenings.
