X-ray imaging, radiation detection and full-vehicle scanning — a fast, integrated inspection solution
SAIC's VACIS IP6500 FullScan system is a powerful, practical solution for scanning cargo containers, trucks and other vehicles in high-volume operations. Its x-ray imaging and radiation scanning help security personnel intercept weapons, nuclear material and other contraband hidden in containers. It can scan entire vehicles, bumper to bumper and roof to tires, including occupants. And with its high throughput and small footprint, the system is ideal for seaports and other high-volume cargo facilities.
The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system provides a powerful combination of scanning features:
- High-energy x-ray imaging can reveal contraband through more than a foot of steel. And with its low radiation dose, the system can be used in very limited space.
- Material discrimination distinguishes light, organic material from dense, inorganic material.
- Radiation detection can detect and locate even heavily shielded special nuclear material (SNM) with a false alarm rate of less than 1 in 10,000 - meeting or exceeding the American National Standards Institute's challenging N42.35-2006 standard.
- Optical character recognition (OCR) identifies each container as it is scanned.
The system quickly integrates the scanning images and data for each container in the system database. Security personnel at viewer workstations in nearby or remote locations can view integrated images and data for any container at any time.
The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system is designed for practical operation at busy facilities. Built for high throughput, the system can scan large numbers of containers in the normal flow of traffic at gates or other checkpoints, without requiring drivers or passengers to exit the vehicle. With its small footprint and low radiation dose, the system can be used in very limited space. And by revealing weapons, SNM and other contraband, the system can greatly reduce the need for costly manual inspections.
The system's component technologies are now operating at ports, border crossings and other facilities around the world. The system is backed by SAIC's worldwide service organization, providing high-quality installation, training, maintenance and technical support.

Exploranium® SRPM-210 Advanced Radiation Portal Monitor
Next-generation radiation detection and classification for vehicles and cargo.
Overview
The Exploranium SRPM-210 advanced radiation portal monitor (RPM) uses SAIC's unique passive scanning technology to detect, locate and classify nuclear material in cargo containers, trucks and other vehicles in the normal flow of checkpoint traffic. By automatically distinguishing potential threats from benign material, the system can significantly reduce the need for costly secondary inspections.
Features
The SRPM-210 combines economical polyvinyl toluene (PVT) gamma detectors, a state-of-the-art digital spectrometer and an innovative threat-analysis algorithm to provide threat detection and classification capabilities at a fraction of the cost of spectroscopic systems.
The SRPM-210 is highly sensitive to potentially dangerous special nuclear material (SNM), even when shielded or masked by naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), and effectively distinguishes SNM from NORM and medical and industrial isotopes. The system also classifies the radioisotopes in the vehicle as NORM, SNM, Medical or Industrial. These features enable authorities to clear more vehicles in primary inspection, significantly reducing the need for secondary inspection.
The SRPM-210 can scan hundreds of vehicles per hour while meeting the applicable portions of the challenging ANSI N42.35-2006 performance standard - all with a very low false alarm rate. The system also graphically displays the location of radioactive sources in the scanned vehicle to help inspectors search the vehicle in secondary inspection. With these features, the system can greatly expedite the entire inspection process.
Benefits
The SRPM-210 includes an innovative technology that blanks radiation from pulsed x ray scanning systems, enabling the SRPM 210 to operate just a few meters from these scanning systems without false alarms.
The SRPM-210 uses the same PVT gamma detectors and many other components as SAIC's widely deployed AT 980 RPM, and has the same footprint, form factor and infrastructure. As a result, existing AT-980 systems can be upgraded to SRPM-210 in the field quickly and easily, and new SRPM-210 systems can be added easily to existing networked AT-980 installations.
SAIC is a world leader in radiation detection technology, with thousands of installations for government and commercial clients around the world. SAIC's world-class maintenance, training and technical support are available with every Exploranium system.
