#  Singapore Government Upgrade 17 X-ray scanners to Astrophysics, Inc equipment

 Written by CBRNe World Staff on 30 August 2017.

A Singapore government agency has upgraded seventeen X-ray scanners to Astrophysics, Inc. equipment at multiple checkpoints within the city.
The new systems will replace and upgrade aging machines and help the agency detect prohibited materials, including cigarettes and drugs.
The agency acquired sixteen XIS-6545DVS and one XIS-6545DVS equipped with a mobility kit.
The X-ray scanners’ dual-view technology provides operators with two images, giving them better detection capabilities to uncover hidden and illegal contraband the government is searching for.
Astrophysics, Inc. CEO Francois Zayek commented: “I am delighted to partner with the Singapore \[government\] to upgrade security equipment at facilities throughout the country. Our XIS-6545 DVS is the ideal machine for their important mission to detect hidden contraband.”
