The technology behind the vision.

ProTech integrates multiple cutting-edge detection technologies into a seamless configuration.

• Active millimeter wave whole-body imaging
  Developed from three-dimensional holographic imaging, millimeter wave technology penetrates materials and “sees” extremely low-level radio waves reflected off of the human body. Safer to use than a cell phone, non-ionizing millimeter wave technology reveals in seconds even the slimmest objects hidden on the body.



• Energetic materials explosives trace detection
  Unlike conventional ETD systems based on ion mobility spectroscopy that only detect explosives included in their substance libraries, energetic materials detection (EMD) detects explosive compounds based on thermodynamic characteristics common to all explosives; so there’s no limit to the types of explosives EMD can find.



• Zoned metal detection
  L-3’s zoned metal detection technology with multidimensional detection fields provide uniform scanning, eliminate hot spots and weak signals, and enhance sensitivity for precise target recognition.



• Combined X-ray and automated explosives detection
  Dual-energy x-ray technology measures the mass, density and effective atomic number (Zeff) of concealed objects. Borrowing the proprietary, advanced technology (AT) detection algorithms from L-3’s hold baggage screening systems to analyze the data, the system automatically detects the presence of explosives and produces high resolution images to help identify other threat objects.



• Sensor Integration Server (SIS)
  The heart and brains of the ProTech System, SIS, collects input from individual ProTech components, combines the data and organizes the resulting information into a composite picture of potential threats.
