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.
