In today’s world, screening people for weapons and explosives is a significant challenge for security and law enforcement.
SPO-20 is the only real-time people screening of its kind in the world.
Traditionally, X-ray and metal detection systems have been used to control security in locations such as in airports. But these methods aren’t well-suited to other public transport environments where large volumes of people need to be screened ‘on the move’.
What makes SPO-20 special is its novel use of passive millimetre wave technology - it automates the detection of threats in high traffic areas at distances of up to 20 metres.
It is safe – there are no emissions, and unlike other competitive systems, detection raises an alert, and does not rely on image screening.
It can detect a range of potential threats - including liquids – which very few other systems are able to do. And it’s portable with no special infrastructure requirements or consumables.
We at QinetiQ have decades of experience in security as a result of work we have done with both the UK and US military. Our workforce of scientists and engineers have used this expertise to develop the SPO-20 which addresses like no other, one of the many challenges facing the security market.
