EVERY DAY , billions of tons ofgoods and materials pour throughborder crossings, ports, and railyards with an ever-present potentialfor danger.

Dense loads can shelter virtuallyanything: weapons of massdestruction, conventional weapons,

stolen and undervalued goods, drugs,or stowaways. The possibilities areendless, and the consequences offailing to identify hidden threat

substances can be disastrous.Cargo inspection is the rst and

last line of defense against terrorism,contraband trafcking, and theft atentry points around the globe.With innovative screening solutionsdesigned to match the energy,sophistication, and boundless

imagination of the criminal mind,L-3 Security and Detection Systemsprovide critical safeguards forevery point of entry: air, land,

inland waterways, and seaports.Blending landmark image capture

and processing technology withversatile platforms that span thespectrum of physical requirements,L-3 presents an extraordinary lineof cargo X-ray systems to matchthe complex demands of border,

port, rail, and aviation security.

With best-in-class penetration and throughput rates, L-3scargo X-ray inspection systems set the standard foraccuracy, efficiency, and cost savings.

Advanced detector electronics and patented imagingsoftware produce images with exquisite detail, enablingimage analysts to quickly identify manifest anomalies andquestionable contents.

Because cargo density in any single container canvary from empty to thickly compact, L-3s innovativeimaging technology optimizes image quality to producehighly readable scans every time.

Whether viewing an entire image on screen, zoomingin for a closer look, or highlighting areas of interest withcolor overlays, L-3s user-programmable imageenhancement tools give screeners virtually unlimitedoptions for capturing the best image for the task at hand.

High-resolution flat panel and LCD monitors that givethe clearest possible picture in every view mode andintegrated manifest displays are standard equipment inall L-3 cargo systems. Archiving is fast and simple, andgenerous storage capacities keep thousands of imagesat the ready.

With just a touch, operators and inspectors canaccess system controls, status, and diagnostic functions.High-performance Windows -compatible softwareinterfaces let users access the controls they need whenthey need them.

Autovan CX-160 V

The rugged, compact Autovan CX-160V houses apowerful, high-speed PX-231 X-ray System, ready for fastdeployment to remote locations or to help handle cargooverflow and relieve bottlenecks during peak shipping

periods. Built to provide years of reliable use under thetoughest road conditions, the diesel-powered Autovangenerates ample technical and utility power to operate allstandard on-board equipment, including air conditioning.

The PX-231 X-ray scanner features a 1000 mm wideby 800 mm high (39.4" x 31.5") aperture, ideal forscreening large boxes and break-bulk cargo at airports,customs, force protection facilities, dockyards, andremote warehouses. Mounted and positioned for properweight distribution to assure excellent vehicle handling,

the PX-231 is easily accessed for operation and servicing.

PX-231 Towcart

The PX-231 Towcart integrates the PX-231 X-ray Systemas explained in the Autovan CX-160V descriptionwith aheavy-duty, custom-designed trailer to bring grab-and-towmobile X-ray screening capability wherever it is needed.

Easily towed by a large car or four-wheel-drive vehicle,the trailer can be modified for use anywhere in the world.

A petrol generator provides power to the X-ray systemfor use even in the most remote locations.
