HSS Falcon Plus: The Power of HSS Falcon, plus Discriminative Metal Detection
Automatic detection of explosives, weapons and narcotics with AI and machine learning.- AI-driven detection
- High-throughput
- Distinguishes between metallic threats and
everyday items
For clients who require high-throughput, non-invasive screening to detect smaller metallic threats and wish to discriminate between these and everyday items with a very low rate of nuisance alerts, Apstec has developed a new high-throughput, Discriminative Metal Detection system. The solution accurately distinguishes between metallic threats such as firearms and knives, and everyday items such as smartphones and keys without divestment. It provides increased detection accuracy with reduced false alert rates, representing a significant advancement over traditional metal detection methods.
Winning Combination
HSS Falcon Plus combines the power of HSS Falcon’s proven Millimeter-Wave detection of explosives with Discriminative Metal Detection in a back-to-back configuration, setting a new standard in AI-driven, high-throughput, non-invasive screening of people
and their belongings.
Placement: Indoor & outdoor
Throughput: 2500 people/hour
Detection: Explosives, weapons, narcotics, and metallic threats including handguns, polymer framed handguns and knives.
Screening: People and their hand-carried or body worn bags.
Setup: Mobile
Installation: Quick
With the capacity to screen more than 2,500 people per hour, Falcon Plus enables true high-throughput security. Large crowds move seamlessly, without bottlenecks or compromise on detection.
One HSS Falcon system can replace 5 traditional screening lanes.
Attributes include
- Detects and discriminates knives, long-bladed weapons, and different types of metallic and polymer framed firearms from everyday objects
- Improves detection of IEDs with metallic fragmentation and contained explosives
- Operates effectively in areas with high electro-magnetic interference, such as mass transport hubs
- Provides selective baggage screening, particularly effective in identifying metallic threats, while maintaining flow and comfort
The benefits of a comprehensive screening solution able to non-invasively screen large numbers of people and their bags for a wide range of threats in real time without having to stop and divest are manifold. Screening people for a wide-range of non metallic and metallic threats, HSS Falcon Plus is a high-throughput walk-through solution that screens people much faster and with far less disruption than traditional screening methods. It is simple to operate, fits smoothly into the security operational process, has a compact footprint and an attractive look and feel. Cost-effective and easy to deploy, this flexible solution is suitable for multiple customer applications, indoor/outdoor use, as well as rapid relocation.
