GE CTX 9000/9400
Product Description The CTX 9400 DSi system
represents the latest in CTX technology.
Designed to integrate with baggage handling
systems (BHS), the CTX 9400 DSi system is
TSA-certified and well-suited for fast-paced
airport environments. It is designed primarily
for BHS integration. Its meter-wide conveyor belt
and large tunnel opening welcome large and
standard-size bags.
Benefits Real-time detection Advanced user
interface BHS integration Meter-wide conveyor
belt Multiplexing capability Closed-circuit
air conditioning

GE CTX 9800
Product Description The CTX 9800 DSi represents
the future development of the CTX 9k platform.
The CTX 9800 takes the existing CTX 9k platform
and incorporates Full 3D imaging. The CTX 9800
will also be able to utilize Ethernet BHS
interfaces for more advanced BHS controls. The
9800 will utilize improved GUI functionality
allowing greater image resolution for TSOs as
compared to existing technology CTX 9000/9400
technology.

• Benefits
• Real-time detection
• Advanced user interface
• BHS integration
• Meter-wide conveyor belt
• Multiplexing capability (MUXv2)
• Closed-circuit air conditioning
• Full 3D Imaging

L3 6000/6600

• Product Description
• L-3 Communications eXaminer 6600 Explosive
  Detection System provides advanced explosive
  detection capabilities at high throughput rates.
  Measurements are taken and reconstructed to
  produce volumetric data. Projection, axial, and
  3-D images of the contents of the bag are
  provided for analysis.

• Benefits
• Generates 3-D Images of all Objects in Bag
• Continuously moving belt
• Allows Automatic Analysis of Entire Contents of
  Bag

Analogic XLB

• Product Description
• The XLB (eXtra Large Bore) is being developed
  under a Phoenix Category 3 development contract
  from TSA. It is an entirely new High Speed
  generation of more advanced, multiplexed EDSs for
  checked baggage for aircraft. Screening Officers
  see enhanced, 3-D, real-time images of the
  complete bag and threat objects, and a
  high-resolution 2-D projection image of all the
  contents in the bag.

• Benefits
• Extra large, 1-m x 0.6-m bore
• Dual-energy system
• Any-to-Any multiplexing
• Brushless power transmission

6
Analogic King Cobra
Product Description KING COBRA is a new
technology created by modifying the COBRA design
and architecture to create a reduced-size EDS
system for checked baggage for small and
mid-sized airports. The system is fast and
efficient.

• Benefits
• Small footprint
• Enhanced 3D bag image
• Flexible multiplexing and networking capability
• Utilizes many common parts with its Auto-EDS
  counterpart.

Reveal CT80/CT80DR

• Product Description
• Reveals CT80DR provides advanced explosive
  detection . Its flexibility allows for extra
  long baggage. It is also capable of in-line, and
  stand alone configurations at any airport.

• Benefits
• Networking capability (multiplexing)
• STIP compliance
• Reduce baggage processing times
• Improved data retrieval and management
• Long baggage capability with XL upgrade.

Planning Guidelines and Design Standards (PGDS)

• Planning Guidelines and Design Standards for
  Airport Checked Baggage Inspection Systems were
  published by TSA on October 10, 2007, which can
  be found at http//www.tsa.gov/research/asac/inde
  x.shtm
• PGDS was comprised of TSA, Airport, and Airline
  representatives, who met regularly for over a
  year to address issues surrounding the financial,
  technical, and strategic challenges associated
  with checked baggage screening in the nations
  airports.
• Version 2.0 to be released in October of 2009
  based on submitted industry comments.
• Comments can be submitted to ostbsisguidelines_at_ts
  a.dhs.gov as your comments and those of other
  industry partners will greatly assist us as we
  update the Guidelines.
