With record-setting numbers of air travelers passing through airport security checkpoints, the opportunity for threats to make their way onto an airplane has increased significantly. Single- and dual-view X-ray systems lack useful automated explosive detection algorithms, and the image quality limits a screener's ability to visually see and identify threats without divestiture of electronics and liquids. Recognizing the need to improve security and passenger experience at the checkpoint, IDSS was founded in 2012 by a team of experienced security professionals who built and deployed thousands of security scanners in the post-9/11 environment. We embarked on the development of high performance, next-generation CT security to address current, and future threats.A key tenet in our technology design choices is the ability to maximize our products' useful life – and Return on Investment (ROI) – for our customers. We believe our solutions should maximize the information available from an imaging platform and leverage internal and external resources for advancements in detection and non-detection capabilities. Since our inception, IDSS has embraced these concepts to develop the best solutions for our customers. Our first product, The DETECT 1000, is the embodiment of this design philosophy. With its TSA and ECAC certified detection algorithms and low noise, high-quality images, the DETECT 1000 brings resolution to automated and on-screen threat detection for today … and tomorrow.
