Abstract

How to Find the Right Product

Over 40 X-ray, Non-X-Ray, and explosives trace detectors, promoted by more than 12 vendors compete for a place in today's marketplace. You need a knowledgeable, unbiased, independent and unaffiliated advisor to bring you the facts about all these companies and their technologies and products.

This is why HSRC is launching its Homeland Security Product Comparison Report (HPC) series, covering every aspect in the screening industry.

Featured in this Report

The 2003 Luggage and Large Parcel Screening - Product Report covers the following products/technologies:
  • ETD - Explosive* Trace Detection Systems
  • EDS - Explosive* Detection System
  • X-ray Detection Systems
    * Can detect more than explosives
For each technology, the report describes existing vendors and products, and provides a much needed analysis of the crucial operational and ownership aspects such as:
  • Cost of transaction - The cost of screening a single person
  • Cost of ownership - The cost of owning the product and its service
  • Cost of maintenance - The cost of keeping the product running
  • Cost of personnel - The cost of operating the product, including training.
The Homeland Security Research team of experts and analysts worked for a year to give you a clear, usable and relevant comparison of available technologies prices [including U.S. government prices] and products. The report explains available technologies clearly and concisely, presents product specifications in an easy-tocompare table format, and accompanies every subject with a no-nonsense discussion covering every important financial and operational aspect.

HPC-The Power of Knowledge

This report is designed to give Security planners, CSOs, purchasing personnel, public, and private sector executives a clear picture of the performance, economics and operational aspects of each available system and technology.
