OSI Systems Launches the Rapiscan WaveScan 200 Passive Milimeter-Wave Body Scanner
OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS), a vertically-integrated provider of
specialized electronic products for critical applications in the
security and healthcare industries, announced today at the AVSEC World
2007 conference in Vancouver, Canada, that its Security division,
Rapiscan Systems, has launched the Rapiscan WaveScan 200 body scanner.
The stand-off passive millimeter wave body scanner can be used either as
a standalone solution or integrated with other Rapiscan products to
provide a layered security solution in aviation, defense and homeland
security environments to efficiently isolate potential threats in real
time.
Rapiscan Systems President, Ajay Mehra, stated, "We
are pleased to launch the Rapiscan WaveScan 200 at the AVSEC World
Conference, expanding our range of advanced body scanning technologies.
We can offer our customers the choice of screening people for threats
either in a stand-off mode utilizing passive millimeter wave technology
or in a portal mode utilizing our proprietary backscatter X-Ray
technology. Both technologies can also be integrated to form a layered
security checkpoint that efficiently detects a wide range of concealed
metallic and non-metallic security threats.” About the Rapiscan WaveScan 200
The Rapiscan WaveScan 200 uses advanced passive millimeter wave imaging
technology to provide a rapid and discrete method for discerning a wide
range of concealed objects such as liquids, gels, explosives, weapons,
contraband or other determined security threats. Its technology includes
a real-time Radiometric Scanner that images electromagnetic millimeter
wave energy, an integrated full-motion video camera, on-board computer
and a sophisticated, intelligent video detection engine. A key feature
of the passive millimeter wave technology utilized in the Rapiscan
WaveScan 200 is that it passively detects electromagnetic energy coming
from a subject and therefore can detect concealed objects without
transmitting radiation. The Rapiscan WaveScan 200 has the ability to
operate remotely from security personnel, a "stand-off”
capability that reduces the risk to security personnel and increases
operational flexibility.
