neu-VISION™ Explosives Detection Systems

New Technology for New Threats

Rapid detection, identification, and early warning are key features of an integrated approach needed to defend and protect against chemical, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threats.

 

Raytheon Applied Signal Technology has developed neu-VISION—a portable neutron imaging and material identification system designed to provide through-barrier detection and classification of CRNE and other hazardous materials in a variety of operational settings. This robust neutron imaging technology serves an important role in the nation's integrated security capability with its unique combination of barrier penetration, three-dimensional representation, material identification, and operational flexibility.

 

Benefits

  • Neutron-based, three-dimensional mapping and material classification/identification
  • Portable and safe CRNE inspection tool
  • Compatible with low-power, lightweight system requirements
  • Usable by non-expert civilian and military operators
  • Easily-adapted to varied missions and environments
  • Cost-effective—eliminates the need for time consuming and unreliable manual interpretation of complicated images

 

Applications

  • Checked baggage and airfreight screening
  • Vehicle and cargo inspection
  • IED detection and characterization
  • Landmine detection and confirmation
