Comprehensive Tools for Threat Detection

Astrophysics offers a number of disruptive technologies that have shaped and redefined non-invasive security screening, including:

• The Multi-View CT^TM: The World’s First 3D CT Cargo System. A one-of-a-kind-system that combines multi-view x-ray transmission and CT reconstruction to perform quick and effective cargo inspections. Reconstructed images can be rotated in 360°, allowing operators to identify threats in any location on a cargo pallet.
• High-Energy Commercial Vehicle Scanners. Astrophysics’ HXP-FreightScan^TM and HXP-TotalScan^TM are fully-automated, drive-through cargo scanners designed to protect border crossings and ports of entry. Low-maintenance and cost-effective, they are capable of penetrating 350 mm of steel and processing up to 150 trucks an hour.
• Fully-Integrated Artificial Intelligence. Astrophysics is the first to offer fully-integrated AI for gun and knife detection. In partnership with Synapse Technology, the Syntech SOLUTION^TM software available on our systems automatically stops the belt and isolates threats with a colored box on-screen, for an unmatched level of safety.
• Multi-Color Material Discrimination. Astrophysics’ 8 Color Imaging is a breakthrough software program that categorizes objects according to their effective Z-number, making it possible for operators to quickly identify knives, firearms, explosives, and contraband.

Astrophysics’ systems are designed for reliability and ease-of-use. With a long life cycle, ruggedized construction, and low maintenance requirements, they are capable of operating in even the harshest environments.
