OSI Systems Receives Certification for RTT® 80 Explosive Detection System
HAWTHORNE, Calif. - OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS), today announced that its Rapiscan RTT® 80 (Real Time Tomography) explosives detection system (EDS) has achieved U.S. Transportation Security Laboratory certification for airport checked-baggage screening.
Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems CEO, commented: "We are pleased that RTT 80 has achieved this important regulatory milestone, meeting the rigorous performance standards required by the Department of Homeland Security."Mr. Chopra continued: "We believe RTT can deliver benefits to airports in terms of screening capacity, reliability, security and cost of ownership and we appreciate TSA's approval of this ground-breaking technology."
The RTT employs a proprietary, solid-state approach to provide high-resolution, 3-D imaging. Its unique design allows for high-speed inspection of hold baggage and air cargo, while also meeting recent threat detection standards. RTT has also passed the European Civil Aviation Conference's (ECAC) HBS EDS Standard 3 threat detection requirement and has been deployed by airports globally.
The company expects to submit its Rapiscan RTT® 110 explosives detection system for TSA certification testing in fiscal 2016. The RTT 110 employs the same underlying technology as the RTT 80, but offers a larger tunnel size, capable of screening larger items.
