Rapiscan Systems Launches Multiple TSA Approved X-ray Systems for Air Cargo Screening and Inspection
Multiple systems have been approved by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in accordance with the requirements in the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) Alternate Procedure to Indirect Air Carrier Standard Security Program. These systems meet screening mandates as required by the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 passed by United States Congress, mandating the establishment of a system to physically screen of 100% of cargo on passenger aircraft—including the domestic and international inbound flights of foreign and U.S. passenger operations by August 2010.
The TSA’s regulations impact not only domestic carries, but all worldwide air cargo that is inbound to the U.S. Because of our technological expertise and trust that we have earned in this realm, we are uniquely qualified to serve the entire global screening community.
The following approved systems are currently on the TSA Air Cargo “Candidate Technology List”. They have been evaluated by TSA and found to be operationally suited for screening air cargo.
  • Rapiscan 620DV            Multi-View, 640 mm x 430 mm Tunnel Aperture
  • Rapiscan 632DV            Multi-View, 1500 mm x 1650 mm Tunnel Aperture
  • Rapiscan 638DV            Multi-View, 1800 mm x 1800 mm Tunnel Aperture
  • Rapiscan MVXR5000     Multi-View, High Speed, 1000 mm x 800 mm Tunnel Aperture
In addition, you will also be pleased to know that Rapiscan is continually seeking to expand our portfolio of air cargo screening solutions and that the TSA continues to evaluate additional Rapiscan Systems’ X-ray models as listed below:
  • Rapiscan 627DV            Multi-View, 1000 mm x 1000 mm Tunnel Aperture
  • Rapiscan 628DV            Multi-View, 1000 mm x 1000 mm Tunnel Aperture
  • Rapiscan 627XR            Single-View, 1500 mm x 1650 mm Tunnel Aperture
  • Rapiscan 628XR            Singel-View, 1800 mm x 1800 mm Tunnel Aperture
With the latest addition of these systems to the company’s BPI family, Rapiscan System becomes the largest provider of Multi-View X-ray screening and inspection systems in the world.
The systems are designed and suited to meet the throughput and other requirements of Airlines, Independent Air Carriers (IAC), Certified Cargo Screening Air Cargo Forwarders and Independent Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (ICSF), the four major categories of entities required to meet the mandate by law.
With various tunnel sizes, ease of use and superior image quality, to date, we have successfully deployed over forty systems to the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP) participants, including eighteen of the largest air cargo providers in the world.
