#  Smiths Detection to Help TSA Deploy Screening Systems Under $97M Contract

 Written on 04 April 2019.

[Smiths Detection](https://www.smithsdetection.com/) recently won a potential $96.8M contract to supply computed tomography screening systems for the Transportation Security Administration.

The company will produce 300 CT scanners and ancillary equipment to help agency personnel detect potential threats in travelers’ carry-on luggage, TSA said they plans to begin deploying the machines at U.S. airports in the summer and continue deployment efforts through 2020 as part of the *Advanced Technology X-ray* program.

The agency launched a pilot program to implement CT technology in 2017 and is implementing other CT platforms as part of efforts to update operational and automated detection algorithms.
