ThruVision Systems has been invited to participate in the INSTINCT program. INSTINCT is a Home Office run initiative, which aims to identify and trial innovative technologies, solutions or ideas in the field of counter-terrorism.

Industry and academia were invited last month to submit technologies, processes and ideas for evaluation by an independent panel. The most promising and innovative have been selected for a series of live trials in UK airports in the coming weeks.

Following the live trials, there will be an INSTINCT Technology Demonstrator 2 showcase event, which is being held at Thales Crawley on 1 and 2 December. Ministers and domestic and international VIPs from industry will be invited to view the technologies at the showcase to see whether they offer practicable solutions in counter-terrorism. Technology Demonstrator 2 focuses specifically on ideas that could enhance aviation security.

ThruVision’s products can be used discreetly and at stand-off distances to screen passengers for concealments at a variety of stages throughout the air transportation process in real time. ThruVision Systems’ products do not use harmful active radiation to screen passengers or reveal high levels of intimate body details. They provide flexibility in deployment, increasing effectiveness whilst minimising operational costs. As such they are ideal for a modern air transport industry that aims to maximise passenger experience and protect passengers’ civil liberties whilst increasing security.
