Implant Sciences’ QS-H300 Evaluated by TSA for Use in Air Cargo Screening
Dépèche transmise le 13 avril 2009 par Business Wire
WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Implant Sciences Corporation (NYSE Alternext US: IMX), a supplier of systems and sensors for the homeland security market and related industries, today announced that the Company’s new Quantum Sniffer QS-H300 Air Cargo Screening System is being evaluated by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
New legislation mandates that 100% of air cargo on passenger aircraft must be screened for explosives by August 2010 (Public Law 110-53 ‘‘Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007’’). Those responsible for meeting the mandate, such as Freight Forwarders and Indirect Air Carriers, have been facing significant challenges in implementing these requirements and have been looking for innovative technologies to help them achieve this goal.
Glenn D. Bolduc, Implant Sciences' Chief Executive Officer commented “At the urging of air cargo industry leaders, Implant Sciences accelerated the development of the QS-H300 and was ready to respond when the TSA called for the evaluation of new technologies capable of meeting the air cargo screening challenge,” Mr. Bolduc continued, “Implant Sciences is committed to developing advanced anti-terrorism technology in support of these new homeland security measures.”
The QS-H300 is a new Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) system combining several unique technologies for the fast and efficient non-contact screening of packages of any size. These technologies are particularly effective in difficult environments such as those found in air freight facilities. The QS-H300 is easy to use, has very low operating costs, and has been designed to offer effective screening in fast-paced cargo screening operations without disrupting the normal work flow.
Jeff Tehan, Implant Sciences' Vice President of Marketing and Sales said, “We are excited about the opportunity to have the QS-H300 evaluated by the TSA. The evaluation provides a critical qualifying element as we finalize the product development and get closer to market introduction.”
