The machine is built for the expanding needs of the future with upgradeability of key systems that allow the machine to meet future threats without major replacement costs. The systems’ stationary gantry allows it to provide a real and maintained 1,800 bph with maximum system tests clocking the machine capability at beyond the 2,000 bph range. With its innovative use of proven computed tomography (CT) and implementation of multi-energy detection for atomic number analysis, the x1000 delivers low false alarm rates, and a high level of accuracy of current and emerging threat detection, including home made explosives (HME’s.) The combination of these features allows the x1000 to adapt and, in essence, future proofs the product throughout its life cycle.
