Passenger Imaging System

Rapiscan Systems, has been awarded an initial delivery order for Passenger Imaging systems at respective pilot locations and an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract (IDIQ) with options up to $17 million from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Under the terms of the agreement, Rapiscan Systems' Secure 1000 Body Scanner will be deployed at a number of airport pilot locations.

Rapiscan Systems president, Ajay Mehra, commented, "We applaud the TSA's commitment to furthering passenger imaging testing in a real-world scenario. We are looking forward to getting the feedback from U.S. aviation passengers, as the technology has already been very well-received internationally."

In September 2005, Rapiscan announced its first civilian aviation deployment at London's Heathrow Airport. The systems are also in use at countless military and government sites both domestically and abroad.
