Israeli defense ministry buys four InVision detection systems

17 Jun 2002

The Israeli Ministry of Defense has purchased four CTX 5500 DS machines from InVision Technologies, Inc., at a price of $3.8 million. The CT detection system units, which will be installed at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, utilize a new inspection software that screens airport baggage at up to 400 bags per hour. The CTX 5500 DS also has a flexible inspection mode known as "dynamic screening" which allows the systems to adapt to different threat levels and operating conditions.
