QPS Body Scanner at International Airports

The QPS Personnel Security Scanner has many characteristics that are more advantageous than the current Body Scanners on the market. These increased benefits apply to the general public as well as the facility operators (airports, etc).  Here are some of these benefits:

• Easier for persons being scanned as they do not have to raise their hands above their head

• Raising of the arms may be difficult for elder people.

• Tall passengers have difficulties to place the hands above the head in competitor’s cabin as cabins may not be high enough

• Passenger does not have to enter a cabin

• Some Passengers don‘t like to enter cabins (claustrophobia) or at least feel uncomfortable within a cabin

• Easy bypass for wheelchair users

• Scanning time of only 64 ms minimizes false alarms caused by movements of the passenger

• Competitor’s scanning times in excess of +1 sec bears higher risk for movement of passenger during scan, resulting in false alarms

• No obstacle in case of panic (fire, …)

• More privacy for the persons being scanned

• Scanner does not provide a picture of the body but rather displays an avatar with the potential location of forbidden substances

• Excellent oversight on entire security lane and process

• Operator can observe the next person in line

• Operator has physical access to passenger being scanned

• High redundancy: Failure of few antennas does not significantly reduce detection quality

• Only one TX-Antenna is transmitting at a time. All RX-Antennas are receiving simultaneously

• No moving parts; Improves Reliability and Availability

• ECAC Standard 1 and Standard 2 certified

• Certified for German Federal Police requirements

• Approved by the TSA (USA’s Transportation Security Administration).
