In short
Revolutionary Solution
Apstec’s next-generation screening technology, Human Security Scanner Apstec Falcon delivers a quantum leap in security screening as the first solution able to screen people and their hand-carried / body-worn bags for explosives. The comprehensive, smart solution uniquely detects explosives, weapons, and narcotics on people and in bags.
Using a unique combination of detection technologies and sophisticated algorithms, Falcon recognizes a wide spectrum of threats to provide a higher degree of security assurance. In contrast to walk-through metal detectors and weapon detection systems, Falcon is NOT dependent on metallic content to detect threats such as low-metallic or non-metallic IEDs.
