L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems (SDS) has developed a new system for automated alarm resolution
in airline baggage Explosive Detection Systems (EDS) based on coherent x-ray scattering spectroscopy. The capabilities
of the system were demonstrated in tests with concealed explosives at the Transportation Security Laboratory and airline
passenger baggage at Orlando International Airport. The system uses x-ray image information to identify suspicious
objects and performs targeted diffraction measurements to classify them. This extra layer of detection capability affords
a significant reduction in the rate of false alarm objects that must presently be resolved by opening passenger bags for
hand inspection.
