Aviation endorsement

by Mark Rowe

The French firm Safran Identity & Security, through its subsidiary Morpho Detection, reports its CTX 9800 DSi explosives detection system (EDS), pictured, has gained Standard 3 endorsement from the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) with a 0.5 metres per second belt speed.

With the same footprint, CTX 9800 at 0.5 m/sec belt speed reduces power consumption while improving uptime, image archiving capability and total bags per hour (BPH) capacity, according to the product company. The CTX 9800 now screens up to 1,800 BPH, the firm adds. With the compact CTX 5800 and global service footprint, Morpho Detection says its product helps all-sized airports comply with approaching mandates requiring ECAC Standard 3-approved hold baggage screening capabilities.

Moureen Schobert, CTX Product Manager, Morpho Detection, said: “Developing the ability to screen hold baggage faster, more effectively and with superior image quality is at the heart of Morpho Detection’s commitment to our customers for more than 25 years. This approval from ECAC gives airports powerful new security capabilities while further validating the CTX platform as having the scalability to meet the rapidly growing role airports are playing as global hubs for commerce.”
