Key features
Detector Technology

Innovative detector modules produce the highest quality images for both backscatter and optional transmission technologies.

Modalities of Detection  

The backscatter X-ray displays organic contraband and threats concealed within the scan targets. The dual energy transmission X-ray displays metallic threats and deeply concealed contraband.

User Interface

Operator/Analyst Interface can be docked in the vehicle during mobile operation with the ability to operate wirelessly. Viken will collaborate with the client to deploy the optimal user interfaces for maximum operational efficiency.

Analyst Tools

Image analysis tools include Adaptive Contrast, Manual Contrast Adjustment, Zoom, Reverse Image, Color Palette, Image Slider, and Emboss.

Scan Targets

The expansive imaging field of view allows a broad application of scan targets: passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles (cab and cargo), stacked sea containers, and palletized and break-bulk cargo.

The Osprey MOD Mobile Backscatter Inspection Module is a self-contained X-ray imaging system that can be easily integrated into a variety of vehicles' chassis. The Osprey MOD provides flexibility for a comprehensive mobile inspection solution using a customer preferred platform.
The Osprey Mobile Vehicle X-ray Inspection system (MVX) is a self-contained X-ray system that can be quickly and easily set up to provide security screening solutions for drugs, smuggled goods, and other threats. It has industry-leading image quality and uses various imaging methods to handle different inspection tasks.
The Osprey Mobile Trailered Vehicle X-ray Inspection system (MTX) is a self-contained X-ray system that can be quickly and easily trailered by any vehicle and be set up to provide security screening solutions for drugs, smuggled goods, and other threats. It has industry-leading image quality and uses various imaging methods to handle different inspection tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

info icon
What is the Osprey mobile X-ray detection line used for?

The Osprey line — MOD, MVX, and MTX — is used for mobile vehicle security screening, giving inspection officers X-ray imaging capability that can be deployed wherever screening is urgently needed, rather than relying on fixed checkpoint infrastructure.

info icon
What kinds of threats can Osprey systems detect?

Osprey systems are designed to reveal threats including explosives, drugs, currency, and fraudulent and/or smuggled items using transmission and backscatter X-ray imaging.

info icon
What's the difference between transmission and backscatter imaging in these systems?

Transmission imaging passes X-ray energy through an object to produce a detailed, density-based image of its contents. Backscatter imaging detects X-rays reflected from the surface, revealing objects concealed behind or within it without needing access to both sides. The Osprey systems, with added Tx Detector, can use both imaging methods to handle different inspection tasks depending on what’s being screened.

info icon
How quickly can an Osprey system be deployed at a new location?

Each system in the line, MOD, MVX, and MTX is designed for fast, easy deployment. The MVX and MOD are self-contained and ready to set up on their own, while the MTX can be quickly trailered to a site and set up for inspection there.

info icon
Can the Osprey MOD be mounted on a vehicle we already operate?

Yes. The MOD is specifically designed to be easily integrated into a variety of vehicle chassis, giving agencies the flexibility to build a mobile inspection solution using a number of platforms they already operate or prefer, rather than being tied to a dedicated vehicle.

info icon
Are these systems suitable for both routine checkpoints and urgent, short-notice deployments?

Yes. The Osprey lineup is purpose-built for any detection situation, anywhere, offering checkpoint design flexibility so agencies can deploy the same imaging capability for planned checkpoint operations or urgent, short-notice screening needs.
