Reveal system exceeds European Civil Aviation Conference Requirements, setting the stage for enhanced passenger screening

Reveal Imaging, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), announced today that it has successfully passed laboratory testing and met the requirements set by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) for screening and detecting liquids contained inside passenger baggage. The test was conducted using the Reveal dual-energy CT-800 scanner which is capable of screening 500 to 600 bags per hour at the checkpoint. The testing validated that Reveal met the even more stringent Standard 2 requirements which require manufacturers to detect the broadest range of liquid explosives. Reveal Imaging is the first company to pass the most technically challenging test, Type D, for liquids inside a bag. The test also demonstrated that Reveal's false alarm rates were approximately a factor of three below the mandated threshold.
