OSI Wins $23M Contract to Provide RTT Explosive Detection Systems

OSI Systems’ Security division has been awarded a contract valued at approximately $23 million from a major European airport group to provide multiple units of its RTT® 110 (Real Time Tomography) Explosive Detection Systems.

“Our RTT hold baggage systems continue to be well received in the marketplace by customers that seek to meet ECAC detection standard guidelines,” said OSI Systems’ Chairman and CEO, Deepak Chopra.

“We are excited to serve this customer and look forward to expanding our RTT installed base in the region.”

The RTT™ is designed to accurately detect an increased range of explosive threats and prohibited items, including liquid explosives when compared to the currently deployed CT systems.

It features an innovative stationary gantry design that allows it to provide detailed 3-D images of the item being scanned at speeds in excess of 1800 bags per hour.

The RTT™ is designed to provide the best possible security at a lower overall cost of ownership to meet the specific operational demands of a modern airport environment.

RTT has passed the European Civil Aviation Conference’s (ECAC) HBS EDS Standard 3 requirement and has been deployed by numerous airports and air logistics providers.
