Firearm Detection
Optosecurity’s XMS® Threat Detection Software Suite brings much needed help at the checkpoint with in-line assistance in the detection of concealed weapons. In spite of well-trained security staff and X-ray imaging systems optimized to detect metallic objects, the detection of concealed weapons remains a demanding task. Detection rates obtained in infiltration tests conducted by regulators worldwide consistently support this fact.
At checkpoints, at all times, screeners face an ever-increasing number of potential threats, including weapons and weapon parts. In specific environments such as diplomatic posts in foreign countries, providing and maintaining an appropriate level of training, and developing expertise among local security employees, remains a challenging task for operators and may impact the consistency of weapon threat detection at the checkpoint.
Optosecurity’s XMS Threat Detection Software Suite complements screeners’ work by providing automated detection of concealed weapons and prompting them with visual indications of the presence and location of potential threats.
