Smiths Detection has been awarded a contract by Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) to implement sophisticated checkpoint screening technologies at Dubai International Airport (DXB) located in the UAE.
This agreement aligns with DAEP’s aim to introduce advanced screening solutions to enhance security measures and improve the overall passenger experience at the airport.
The new screening systems will utilise AI and machine learning (ML) to provide enhanced image clarity, automatic threat detection, and improved speed and accuracy in identifying potential risks.
These improvements are anticipated to enhance the travel experience while keeping stringent safety protocols in place for every individual at the airport.
Smiths Detection will supply its HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S, which uses computed tomography and automated explosives detection algorithms for enhanced screening of carry-on luggage.
Smiths Detection president Jerome de Chassey said: “As part of this contract, Smiths Detection will provide its latest, most advanced technologies for checkpoint screening, including the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model-S, an industry-leading computed tomography screening system.
We are delighted to receive this contract, and the implementation of this advanced technology will greatly improve the security and efficiency of our passenger screening procedures.
Smiths Detection brings extensive experience in developing security solutions tailored to the evolving requirements of the aviation sector.
The technology is expected to be crucial in safeguarding the security of air travel for millions of passengers globally.
In October 2024, Smiths Detection will
secured local certification
for its iCMORE Automated Prohibited Items Detection Systems (APIDS) algorithm.
It obtained approval from the Netherlands’ National Coordinator for Security and Counter-terrorism (NCTV).
In March 2023, Smiths Detection partnered with
AI threat detection firm SeeTrue
to integrate its software with Smiths’ X-ray screening systems, enhancing its screening capabilities.
