What is being bought

Published requirement description

The DfT carries out evaluations of commercially available security equipment testing automated detection capability against performance standards. As part of the continuing increase in security capability, the DfT purchased commercial equipment in support of its R&D program to assist in the speed of deployment of new algorithms and better systems. As part of that program the DfT Research, Analysis and Development (RAD) team have purchased an Explosive Detection System for Computer Tomography Cabin Baggage Screening.
