Identification and Diagnostics

Single-Sided Imaging

Often, IEDs and VBIEDs are in such a position that it is difficult to properly place X-ray equipment on multiple sides to obtain proper diagnostics. American Science and Engineering, Inc. developed a non-invasive, backscatter X-ray system to image suspect IEDs and VBIEDs using only a single side. The system may be manually or robotically employed to interrogate threats from a safe distance. The bomb technician is able to view the X-ray images as they are displayed on the Operator Control Unit of the imaging system from the safe area. This technology will assist the bomb technician in formulating a render safe procedure without putting himself in harm’s way.
