Overview

Built on a dual view concept unlike the SCAN-II/1 the views are orthogonal. Used for the rapid non-intrusive inspection of 10, 20, 40ft containers or cargo trucks and reefers, it can also be used for tankers, small trucks, minibuses and private cars; false walls, hidden compartments and configuration changes will quickly be identified.

A. It is a gantry design configured in a fixed inspection tunnel for minimum size and optimized radiation safety, 10m wide and 36m long. All of the mechanical structure which forms the basis of the gantry is mounted above ground; the ground level is free of rails trenches and able ducts.

B. Overall the design is simple in structure and configuration. It has a single radiation source 'viewed' by a detector array in the horizontal plane. It also has another source and associated detector configured so that the cargo is 'viewed' in the vertical plane; in this case the source runs on a railed trolley mounted in a trench below grade, as shown. The sources and respective detectors operate synchronously over the length of the inspection tunnel.

As with the simpler SCAN-II/1 two views of the cargo are available to the inspector, one vertical and one horizontal.

Note:
While Omni Security has researched the application of electronic sources to the SCAN-II/2 it was considered to be two costly and complex for the benefit to be gained over the less complex gamma-based design, and therefore not available as one of the Omni family of products at this time.
