Series 1 - Personal Electronic Devices

 
Soft Tent Render 13.JPG

Description

The HXT132 is a prototype personal electronic devices (PEDS) scanning system, which has been developed for deployment either at the checkpoint or at the departure gate. This is a fixed point system, using focal construct technology and an optimised smaller inspection tunnel specifically to screen smaller  (15'') laptops, tablets and mobile phones.

The HXT132 has a smaller footprint than typical checkpoint screening systems, which allows for practical redeployment between local departure gates.

HXT X-ray diffraction technology analyses the composition of important parts of the PEDS device and determines if illicit material (such as explosives) is present within the device. A materials map can also be produced for 'typical' devices (offline) to establish an accepted database for PEDS. This can be compared to passenger PEDS and a 'tamper' measure provided to identify suspicious devices.

The HXT132 is a conveyor system that facilitates passenger loading and unloading of PEDS, expediting throughput with minimal input from the transport security officer.

Series 2 - Checkpoint threat resolver

HXT2.png

Description

The HXT264 is a cabin baggage screening solution for the aviation security checkpoint. It is one of the most advanced X-ray diffraction screening systems currently available, having an optimised combination of small footprint (similar size to standard single-view systems), reliability and reduced cost (standard commercial-off-the-shelf components throughout), and exceptional speed of operation.

The HXT264 is based on revolutionary focal construct technology developed by leading UK experts at Nottingham Trent University and Cranfield University. Focal construct technology expands the interrogating beam to generate an annulus or ‘halo’, which increases diffraction signal strength by orders of magnitude. This results in threat resolution in most cases within ~2s and is achieved without stopping the conveyor.

The HXT264 can be supplied as an OEM unit (left image above) for customer rebranding and rapid integration with new or existing equipment (offers potential retrofit capability for existing X-ray fleet) or as a standalone system (right image above).

Open source aviation security software, such as DICOS for threat management and OPSL for low-level systems control, is provided as standard. Electrical integration is via standard Ethernet.

Series 3 - Full-up DV/XRD checkpoint screening system

 
RESOLVER AND RAPISCAN COMBINED-3.png

Description

HXT is developing a self-contained cabin baggage screening solution for the aviation security checkpoint, combining industry standard dual-view X-ray transmission data with HXT X-ray diffraction threat resolving capability. The HXT364 will be one of the most advanced combined X-ray absorption and diffraction screening systems in the aviation security field, having an optimised combination of small footprint, reliability and reduced cost (standard commercial-off-the-shelf components throughout), and exceptional speed of operation.

The HXT364 is a complete replacement for existing checkpoint screening systems with high probability of detection and low probability of false alarms*.

The HXT364 uses the OEM HXT264 X-ray diffraction component (please see details above), which is based on revolutionary focal construct technology developed by leading UK experts at Nottingham Trent University and Cranfield University. Focal construct technology expands the interrogating beam to generate an annulus or ‘halo’, which increases diffraction signal strength by orders of magnitude. This results in threat resolution in most cases within ~2s and is achieved without stopping the conveyor.

Open source aviation security software, such as DICOS for threat management and OPSL for low-level systems control, is provided as standard. Electrical integration is via standard Ethernet. 

*Subject to independent testing from international regulatory authorities.
