The safe disposal of a suspect device and the neutralization of an unexploded weapon both depend upon a full understanding of the components inside the item being X-rayed, as well as their current status. Is the suspect item a real threat or a dummy? Is the detonator of the EOD primed, or can the object be moved? Are we dealing with a chemical or biological device where disruption could be disastrous? All of these questions can be firmly and quickly answered with a high-resolution, and high-penetration X-ray image.
Vidisco's line of digital portable X-ray Inspection Systems enables the bomb specialist to make all of these decisions almost instantaneously, with the highest degree of safety. No waiting, no scanning; only a single human approach, or when using a robot - no human approach at all. In the time that it takes just to set up competing technologies, Vidisco's X-ray systems are already able to provide multiple, high-quality digital radiology images, saving critical time for the operator.
