Stand-off vehicle under-carriage inspection and detection system for deterring vehicle bombers from a safe stand-off distance

摘要

A military and homeland security anti-terrorism security checkpoint machine, system and method of detecting and deterring terrorist infiltrations or attacks by vehicle bombs upon entry into high risk locations. The described invention provides a means to safeguard security checkpoint personnel, by allowing an inspection of the undercarriage of the vehicles approaching a security checkpoint to occur from a remote machine a safe stand-off distance away. Via the strategic use of a combination of machines, security actions and methods of inspection all calculated to isolate suspicious reactions and behavior, security officers can better evaluate the intent of persons approaching the checkpoint from a safe distance away as well as review in real-time, a high quality digital video image of the full undercarriage of the vehicle upon as it drives over the machine. Additionally, supporting communications equipment and systems are employed in the use of the present invention that allows real-time communication between the vehicle and the stand-off security personnel, which can be useful in isolating suspicious behavior in persons entering a facility, while still a safe stand-off distance away. Digital image storage of the under-carriages of entering cars can be utilized for security training or proof of diligence in security procedures for legal and insurance purposes as well.
