X-ray Portal Vehicle Detection Systems

Purpose-built Portals for X-ray Detection

The Osprey and Harrier X-ray portals are purpose built for high throughput fixed site inspection providing the ultimate in checkpoint design for commercial and passenger vehicle scanning.

The Osprey UVX X-ray portal systems deliver fast, reliable under-vehicle inspection for border crossings, military installations, correctional facilities, and other high-security checkpoints. Our innovative under-vehicle X-ray portal provides high-throughput inspection of passenger and commercial vehicles at border crossings, military bases, and other high-security checkpoints by replacing slow, manual mirror-and-camera undercarriage inspections with automated X-ray scanning. Deployed by leading law enforcement agencies globally, the Osprey UVX screens commercial vehicles and the Osprey LEP screens passenger vehicles for narcotics, explosives, weapons, and other concealed contraband.

The Harrier X-ray portal systems deliver comprehensive, fast, reliable Multiview inspection for border crossings, military installations, correctional facilities, and other high-security checkpoints. Our innovative X-ray portal provides high-throughput inspection of passenger and commercial vehicles at border crossings, military bases, and other high-security checkpoints. Deployed by leading border security agencies globally, Harrier 2VX, 3VX and 4VX screen passenger or commercial vehicles for narcotics, explosives, weapons, and other concealed contraband.

Harrier provides either two, three and four-sided, low-energy backscatter and transmission vehicle scanning. The 3VX utilizes Viken’s proprietary imaging technology to provide exceptional vehicle images with minimal radiation exposure. The 4VX adds the UVX for a 4th vantage point system.

Key features
High Throughput

High-throughput scanning minimizes checkpoint wait times.

Image Quality

Industry leading image quality for reliable threat identification.

Modalities of Detection

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

User Interface

Operator/Analyst Interface with 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.

The Osprey Under Vehicle X-Ray (UVX) can be configured as either a passenger or commercial vehicle portal and can include optional transmission detection, allowing it to provide rapid security screening for drugs, smuggled goods and other threats.
The Harrier X-ray portals offer versatile solutions designed to suit your specific mission and needs. They are purpose built for high throughput fixed site inspection providing the ultimate in checkpoint design for vehicle scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions

info icon
What kinds of threats can Harrier systems detect?

Harrier systems are designed to reveal threats including explosives, drugs, currency, and fraudulent manifest items using transmission and backscatter X-ray imaging.

info icon
What imaging modes are available?

Operators can add under vehicle backscatter scanning (UVX) to create a dual-mode 4-sided scan depending on the inspection requirement.

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. With optional transmission detectors, the Harrier systems can use both imaging methods to handle different inspection tasks depending on what’s being screened.

info icon
Where are these systems typically deployed?

Harrier portals are used at border crossings, military bases, and other high-security checkpoints by law enforcement and security agencies.
