Reveal Imaging Receives Explosive Detection Certification from the Government of Israel
Bedford, MA, September 27, 2006 - Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc., a developer of advanced security inspection systems, announced today that its CT-80 Explosives Detection System (EDS) has formally received Explosive Detection Certification from the government of Israel. Reveal is only the third company to have passed the stringent performance criteria set forth by Israeli airport regulators.
“We recognize the Israeli Government places an unprecedented level of focus on aviation security and are very pleased that Reveal Imaging’s CT-80 could meet Israel’s high standards,” said Michael Ellenbogen, president and CEO of Reveal Imaging Technologies. “The operational requirements and demands on aviation security are much different in Israel. We believe the detection performance in the small dynamic platform of the CT-80 significantly expands the potential use of EDS in Israel, and will help overcome many operational problems they current face with existing technology.”
Obtaining this Israeli certification together with certification from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) expands Reveal’s worldwide position to provide the most advanced EDS solution to international aviation customers.
The Reveal CT-80 is certified by TSA and is deployed at U.S. and international airports to meet the TSA standards to automatically inspect 100% of checked baggage for explosives. The CT-80 also exceeds European Level 2 and Level 3 explosives screening standards recently proposed by EU legislation.
About Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc.
In 2006, TSA purchased and installed more EDS systems from Reveal than all other EDS suppliers combined. Certified in 2004 by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Reveal's next generation CT-80 is the smallest EDS in the world and the least expensive to install.
The Reveal CT-80 platform, with breakthrough dual-energy Computed Tomography (CT) technology that shrinks the size, cost and weight of the system, is moving forward in meeting the operational needs of airports and other facilities worldwide. Reveal’s product line is expanding to meet the fast paced, dynamic environment of the passenger-screening checkpoint. This same high-speed platform accommodates checked baggage, parcels, and air cargo.
Reveal EDS solutions are designed and built in the U.S. by the most experienced security imaging team in the EDS industry. Systems are currently being installed in airports and other sensitive facilities in both standalone and integrated security solutions.
Headquartered in Bedford, MA, privately held Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc., is one of only three companies to successfully pass the TSA’s certification process for automated explosive detection systems (EDS).
