HALO HXT264:
Checkpoint XRD
alarm resolver

HALO knows what it sees…

  • Future proofing security.

    HALO’s X-ray diffraction capability will adapt to new and evolving threats.

    Easily adapting to identify new materials without the need for complete hardware overhaul.

  • Reducing false alarms.

    Current issues found with EDSCB through excursion testing will mean false alarm rates will go up.

    Current additional measures from member states create additional false alarms.

    Traditional CT alarm rate has reached an asymptotic low and further reductions risk overfitting data.

    HALO’s X-ray diffraction offers precise analysis, significantly lowering false alarms and making security checks more efficient and less intrusive.

  • Return on investment.

    Minimising labour and expediting the screening process.

    This reduces airport operational costs, providing a potential return on investment in 12-months.

False alarms at checkpoints create additional cost for the airport, inconvenience the passenger, and generally slow the process of screening people. Checkpoints are therefore typically viewed by all interested parties as a bottle neck… HALO intend to change that.

The HALO HXT264 integrated threat resolution system can typically reduce false alarms by ~4x over CT systems alone. Our unique combination of inline X-ray diffraction system working cooperatively with existing CT systems provides an ideal solution, with minimal additional footprint to have the least impact on current checkpoint lane configurations. The HXT264 can be located directly after the CT, or even in the reject lane to match airport operational requirements.

The simplest combination of primary CT with the HXT264 links the two systems via a single Ethernet cable, and utilises Open Architecture DICOS to pass information between them. The HXT264 scans a tray or bin using synchronised data from the CT and passes back essential orthogonal data on flagged alarms to confirm or reject them. This combination of CT and XRD information provides the optimal dataset from which false alarms can be significantly reduced .

More complex arrangements of CT and HXT264 may be considered, such as multiplexing CT systems to a single HXT264 threat resolver.

The HXT264 threat resolving system will work with any CT vendor and any lane provider to enable the best concept of operations for all airports.
