US military employs body scanner

The Third US Army/US Army Forces Central Command (ARCENT) is using the system to manage people screening at standoff locations as a prerequisite for entrance to secured military bases.

The military’s extreme outdoor locations posed a challenge in deploying screening technology in a way that achieved standoff, remote monitoring, and detected improvised explosive device suicide bombs on the body and in hand carried baggage without endangering security personnel. Brijot met the challenge by introducing a container concept that it says is quickly deployed, screens people and baggage, and “provides a platform to emplace other advanced force protection technologies”.

ScanPort consists of a standard 20-foot ISO shipping container that contains two GEN 2 whole body imaging systems, providing simultaneous front and back real-time screening and concealed object detection.

ScanPort is equipped as a fully automated access control system with electronically locked entry and exit doors operated by programmable logic control, air conditioning, lighting, and an X-ray baggage scanner. The nerve centre for ScanPort is a customized security operations centre that is monitored remotely at a safe distance from imminent threats.
