OSI Systems Awarded Approximate $5.0 Million Contract for New Multi-View X-Ray Systems for Aviation Checkpoint Screening
The Rapiscan MVXi is a multi-view X-ray system designed with advanced software to highlight explosives and other potential threat objects. Additionally, the multi-view platform also reduces the need to reposition carry-on bags during the inspection process thereby expediting the passenger screening process which, together with the systems lighter weight and energy efficient design is expected to lower the airports' long-run cost of ownership.
Ajay Mehra, President of Rapiscan Systems, stated, "The Rapiscan MVXi is among the most advanced checkpoint X-ray systems currently on the market. The system, designed specifically towards improving security and passenger throughput at the aviation checkpoint, should ultimately lead to shorter queues, fewer delays and less hassle during the passenger screening process. Initial customer response has been extremely positive and we are currently involved in active discussions with numerous international aviation customers regarding these new X-ray systems."
