DHS seeks enhanced imaging technology for non-intrusive inspection of shipping containers

摘要

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in Washington has asked industry to submit proposals for new kinds of non-intrusive inspection technologies to enable DHS Customs and Border Protection agents to inspect cargo containers on trucks, ships, trains, and aircraft for dangerous contraband without opening the containers.rnThe intent is to develop and deploy imaging technology with better penetration, resolution, contrast sensitivity, throughput, and automated material identification capability than is available today that will enable a detailed inspection of vehicles as well as interiors of large cargo and air shipping containers.
