L-3 Security & Detection Systems (SDS) announced today that it has received multiple contracts for its eXaminer XLB explosives detection system (EDS) from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Airport Authority of Thailand and the Bucharest Otopeni International Airport.

Able to scan over 1,200 bags per hour, the eXaminer XLB is the first dual-energy TSA-certified system to meet the industry's high-speed EDS classification and achieve EU Standard 3 approval under the Common Evaluation Program (CEP) of Security Equipment.
"We are pleased that customers see the value of our advanced high-speed system," said Thomas M. Ripp, president of L-3 Security & Detection Systems. "This technology is critical to future proof investments in checked baggage screening solutions."

The eXaminer XLB generates high-resolution 3-D image data for explosives detection by combining helical CT with dual-energy imaging. Using 3-D Continuous Flow CT technology, the system generates high-resolution medical-quality images in real time. With advanced tools that include 360-degree rotational views of entire bags and individual threat objects, operators can quickly and confidently clear bags for flight or designate bags for search.

Since 1998, L-3 SDS has used medical-grade imaging technology developed for aviation security with an understanding of the complex demands faced by airport personnel and regulatory agencies around the globe. Over 1,000 eXaminer systems have been deployed at airports domestically and internationally and supported by L-3's world-class service organization.
