Heathrow airport London has introduced the new technology for the baggage screening

Heathrow airport security authorities will now check all the baggage and air cargo with new technology. It is Morpho Detection, offering 45 high-speed CTX 9800 DSiT explosive detection systems (EDS) through which all cargo and passenger baggage will be screened on four out of five terminals. This system will enhance the security standards of the gateway. Screening capabilities at terminal 1, 2, 4, and 5 will be increased after the testing period.

Authorities said that the move will ensure the compliance with the Department for Transport regulations in the United Kingdom. This system will control the entire baggage screening operations by 2018 and will comply with the standard 3-approved EDS.

According to the agreement terms, Morpho will provide the logistical and service support along with the MUXT multiplexing software. It will enable the central station and airport to enhance their networking capabilities.

Heathrow will be the second largest airport after the US, who will operate with the biggest fleet of CTX 9800 screening machines. Karen Bomba, president and CEO of the Morpho Detection, said that Heathrow has recognized the CTX 9800 screening system for their operations, even they have the great ability and operational capability to handle the air traffic and security issues. This action has actually thrilled us here in USA.

He further said that new system will reduce the false alarm rate and also reduce the time-intensive manual inspection of luggage and cargo flights. The Morpho technology has been delivered with the commitment to handle the security challenges and regulatory mandates. Capable of screening more than 1000 bags per hour, this system will enhance the screening and operational efficiencies by working swiftly and accurately. However the false alarming rate will be decreased by 95 percent with the use of this system. The European Civil Aviation Conference has approved the system because it complies with the standard 3 requirements and certified by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) along with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
