Rapiscan PFNA™ TCIS is a truck and container inspection system based on pulsed fast neutron analysis (PFNA™) technology that quickly, automatically and non-intrusively inspects fully loaded cargo containers and trucks. Unlike X-ray radiography systems, PFNA™ does not rely on a human screener to detect objects by their distinguishable shapes. Rapiscan PFNA™ TCIS identifies and locates the presence of concealed contraband, terrorist threats or illegitimate cargo in containers by their unique material specific signatures. In the latter case, though beverages may be the same in density and their containers the same shape, PFNA™ can distinguish whether their contents are alcoholic or nonalcoholic.
Rapiscan PFNA™ TCIS has configurations for inspection of land and sea cargo containers, trucks and cars. All inspection processes are automatic. The objects to be inspected are conveyed by an automated ground vehicle (AGV) through a shielded inspection tunnel where they are scanned. The location and relative size of detected contraband or threats are displayed on an operator screen, and are useful for subsequent manual searches.
New threats or material signatures can be added to update PFNA™’s database whenever required. Rapiscan PFNA™ TCIS is the most advanced truck and cargo inspection system available.
