L3 Security & Detection Systems Receives Order for 24 MV3D Hold Baggage Explosives Detection Systems From Istanbul New Airport

L3 Security & Detection Systems (L3 SDS) has received an order for 24 MV3D Hold Baggage Explosives Detection Systems (EDS) from Istanbul New Airport. This brings the total number of MV3D systems ordered to more than 40 throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East. L3’s MV3D offers superior threat detection, performance and cost efficiency, and is designed for seamless integration with an airport’s baggage handling system.

“We’re pleased that the MV3D has reached this important milestone, demonstrating its position as a leading airport baggage screening solution for the international marketplace,” said Tom Ripp, president of L3 Security & Detection Systems. “Its unique design increases the effective throughput and reduces costly rescreening of bags, which improves system availability and lowers the total cost of ownership over the life of the machine.”

L3’s MV3D was designed to provide a high level of detection performance without the use of a rotating gantry. The system utilizes a series of fixed X-ray sources and multiple detector arrays to create high-resolution 2-D and 3-D images. It generates the throughput and image quality of previous European Union (EU) Standard 2 systems, while providing the detection performance required of EU Standard 3 Approved and TSA Certified systems, all at a high level of reliability.
