Nighthawk BTX
Image quality meets performance in the Nighthawk BTX. This powerful backscatter and transmission handheld X-ray system boosts backscatter image quality even at higher standoff distances. The BTX is customizable with a transmission panel accessory DTX, for on-the-fly imaging.
BTX are available with optional PbIDTM, an XRF-based lead identification capability.
Basic Specification: 282mm (W) x 199mm (H) x 272mm (L) / 4.8kg
Key Features
Safely Evolved: Maximizes image clarity without boosting power or operator exposure. Every photon optimized for precision.
Extended Detector: Largest backscatter collection area in the Nighthawk series for high-res imaging at a distance. Perfect for wide-area scans and thick-material penetration.
See Deeper & Darker: Uncover hidden objects behind up to 10mm steel with enhanced resolution—crisp visuals, even in the darkest concealments.
Application Areas
Scan car doors, panels or trunks at security checkpoints to uncover hidden compartments, weapons, or contraband — no disassembly required.
Safeguard government facilities, airports, or event venues by inspecting barriers, walls, bags or parked vehicles for embedded threats.
Raven
Raven offers distinct advantages to achieve mission goals. Objects are scanned using best-in-class backscatter and transmission modes (either with a moving Tx bar or a fixed panel) that generate unmatched details at increased depths. Other options, such as XRF to identify lead-concealment and thermal imaging make Raven a superior
threat-detection tool.
Raven’s sleek design also elegantly integrates additional features, such as a bigger and brighter HD screen, advanced image analysis and Al tools, hot-swap batteries, navigation buttons, and more
Key Features
Backscatter/Transmission X-ray: Detects concealed weapons, explosives, or contraband in luggage, vehicles, or cargo, even at greater depths.
XRF (X-ray Fluorescence): Identifies lead-lined containers or shielding used to hide illicit materials (e.g., radioactive substances, drugs).
Thermal Imaging: Enhances situational awareness by spotting heat signatures (e.g., hidden persons, recently moved objects).
Application Areas
X-ray imaging technologies are deployed across a wide range of security screening and counterterrorism applications, including airports, border crossings and high-security facilities. Designed for the rapid detection of drugs, weapons, and other threats, these solutions also support large-scale screening operations at ports and logistics hubs.
Osprey™/Harrier™
Overview
The Osprey™/Harrier™is a vehicle X-ray portal that provides a comprehensive vehicle examination including photorealistic images of the content within and a complete view of multi-height vehicles including under the vehicle where drug cartels are known to hide contraband.
Osprey UVX™
The Osprey UVX is an advanced under-vehicle X-ray inspection portal engineered for high-throughput screening at border crossings, military installations, and other high-security checkpoints.
Replacing traditional mirror and camera-based systems, the UVX offers three distinct scanning modes—backscatter, transmission, or a combination of both—providing comprehensive undercarriage imaging with superior threat detection capabilities.
Trusted by leading law enforcement and security agencies, the system enables the detection of narcotics, explosives, weapons, and other concealed contraband with exceptional accuracy.
Designed with safety in mind, the Osprey UVX operates at radiation levels significantly below regulatory limits for occupied vehicles, ensuring both operator and occupant protection.
Osprey TVX™
Built for high-traffic environments, the Osprey is a top-down X-ray vehicle portal designed for rapid, thorough screening of passenger and commercial vehicles.
With the capability to detect narcotics, explosives, weapons, currency, and even concealed individuals, it delivers powerful threat detection without compromising efficiency.
Compact in footprint and cost-effective to install, the Osprey offers unmatched flexibility in checkpoint design—making it the smart choice for maximizing security with minimal disruption.
Osprey MVX™
Rapid to deploy and effortless to operate, the Osprey MVX is a fully self-contained mobile vehicle X-ray system built for immediate response in high-stakes security scenarios. Its cutting-edge design delivers crystal-clear transmission and backscatter images, enabling inspection officers to detect a wide range of threats—from explosives and narcotics to hidden currency, contraband cigarettes, and mislabeled cargo. Engineered for maximum versatility, the Osprey MVX adapts to any mission—whether stationary screening or scanning while in motion—making it the ultimate multitasker in mobile security operations.
Harrier 3VX™
Engineered for high-throughput environments, the Harrier delivers superior resolution for rapid, reliable detection of narcotics, contraband, and potential threats. Utilizing low-energy backscatter and transmission imaging from three sides, it offers comprehensive vehicle scanning with minimal radiation exposure. The 3VX imaging technology is delivering unmatched image clarity and material discrimination. For even greater coverage, the optional UVX upgrade adds a fourth vantage point—elevating detection capabilities to an entirely new level.
Application Areas
Great for security screening at campuses, theme parks, seaports, land borders, airports, sports arenas, hotels and conference centers.
