Analogic Corporation (ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and aviation security technology, today announced that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has awarded it a base contract valued at approximately $4 million for a 12-month development phase and 24 months of prototype warranty, with options for additional ConneCT™ prototypes and warranty for a period of 24 months at the TSA’s discretion.
Under this contract, Analogic will develop advanced threat detection algorithms that will be used in Analogic’s ConneCT aviation checkpoint CT system.“We have a long history supporting U.S. aviation security, and this contract will be instrumental in bringing the benefits of Analogic CT technology and the ConneCT solution to airports in the United States,” said Fred Parks, president and CEO. “We are honored to receive this contract, which represents the next step toward CT technology taking a predominant place at airport checkpoints to improve security, airport efficiency and passenger satisfaction.”Isovac Produccts, LLC, have released the latest product in their portable patient isolation unit (PIU) range. The Operational Rescue Containment Apparatus (ORCA) is a PIU that has been designed to prevent chemical and particulate (biological and radiological) cross-contamination between an enclosed contaminated patient and the external environment during evacuation and transport activities.
Use of the ORCA-2016CN allows safe transport of contaminated patients who have been medically stabilized, while protecting marine craft and cutter crews, aircrews, passengers, auxiliary care providers, and transport assets.Visit Isovac at Convergence, Booth 109, to find out more about the ORCA and Isovac's other great products.Read more …Operational Rescue Containment Apparatus from Isovac
We are pleased to welcome Federal Resources and Dr. Christina Baxter to this year's Convergence to talk about the rapidly growing issue of synthetic opioids.
Since 2013, greater than 30,000 people per year have died of opioid overdose in the United States. This problem has become an epidemic with drug overdoses finally exceeding all other causes of death for persons under fifty years of age in the United States. The main culprits behind this epidemic are fentanyl and it’s analogues.Christina Baxter, Ph.D., will be speaking on the emerging threat and ways to protect responders from these threats utilizing new technology.Be sure to visit the Federal Resources booth for up close and personal demonstrations of this latest technology.The U.S. Army has awarded 170 companies positions on a potential 10-year, $8.27 billion contract to help the service research and develop chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense systems.
The hybrid contract also covers R&D work on high-yield explosive defense platforms, equipment, material, supplies and other capabilities in support of the Joint Enterprise Research, Development, Acquisition and Production and Procurement program, the Defense Department said Wednesday.Astrophysics, Inc. has been selected to supply x-ray scanners for the the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Astrophysics will deliver scanners needed to secure the venues, screen spectators and inspect shipments at the Olympic Games.
The contract calls for machines ranging from XIS-6040 checkpoint units up to XIS-1517 cargo scanners. All equipment will be outfitted to handle freezing winter weather and configured to withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit). This award comes two (2) months after the 29th Worldwide Universiade Games in Taipei, Taiwan, in which Astrophysics delivered nearly one hundred (100) X-ray scanners for checkpoint security at the Games.Astrophysics, Inc. CEO Francois Zayek commented: \"Astrophysics is proud to provide security systems for the upcoming Winter Olympics. Astrophysics' scanners are ideally suited to protect the participants, spectators and facilities, and we are excited to see the amazing athletes compete on the world stage.\"Read more …Astrophysics, Inc. X-ray scanners will keep 2018 Winter Olympics secure

The Autonomy of Hazardous Scene Assessment (AHSA) Defence and Security Accelerator competition, which will change the way chemical and bio-hazards are investigated, has announced the latest competition winners. This Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) themed competition was created to investigate the use of autonomous systems to assess scenes that are potentially contaminated with hazardous materials, and the submission in this round of contenders has been very interesting.
Phase 1 of the competition, which ran for 6 months until July 2017, funded 18 development projects and was worth £1.37million. Four of those initial phase 1 winners were then selected to develop their concepts further in this second phase. Early prototypes will be demonstrated by October 2018. Just over £1.6 million total funding was awarded to the following phase 2 winners:BMT Defence Services, with an unmanned aerial vehicle which has gas-sensing technologyHoriba MIRA, which has a robot with its own neural networks which can deploy on decontamination missionsLoughborough University, with a pocket-sized drone which can search for chemicalsSnake Eyes, by Autonomous Devices Limited, which can be posted through a letter box and relay 3D images of a space and can detect chemical agents.Peter Stockel, from Dstl, said: “After a fast-paced first phase, we are now delighted to rapidly move the project forward into phase 2 with four highly innovative and technically exciting system propositions to tackle this priority challenge for UK Defence and Security.Read more …Winners announced in latest round of Autonomy of Hazardous Scene Assessment competition
