The HCVS 6000 Series Fixed Inspection Systems (FIS) are designed to streamline inspection procedures at ports, airports and border crossings. These systems are used to scan vehicles (including the driver's cabin) and containers to detect dangerous and prohibited items such as explosives, narcotics, weapons of mass destruction and contraband. The fixed inspection system also allows for the verification of customs declarations. The use of the FIS reduces the need for manual inspection of vehicles and containers.
The HCVS uses a 6 MeV electron accelerator, providing penetration of 350 mm to 410 mm of steel. The throughput is up to 20 vehicles per hour.
The high-performance imaging system provides the operator with detailed radioscopic images of the container or vehicle, allowing for the rapid and reliable detection of prohibited items inside. The viZual technology, which can be equipped with the HCVS IDC, allows for the separation of organic and inorganic materials in the image based on the effective atomic number of the substance.
When equipped with the ARD automatic radioactive material detection system, the system can simultaneously detect gamma and/or neutron radiation from fissile materials while scanning.
The dual-view system provides 2 images (top view and side view). This configuration makes it much easier for the operator to detect and accurately localize suspicious objects in the cargo.
HCVS systems have proven their high efficiency and are currently an indispensable tool for customs and law enforcement agencies around the world.
