Sydney Airport Technology Trials

Technology trials will be carried out at Sydney Airport from late October to the end of November.

The technologies chosen to be trialled at Sydney Airport are:

1. American Science and Engineering SmartCheck Backscatter X-ray Whole Body Scanner

The SmartCheck uses a low energy X-ray that penetrates clothing to create an image which reveals hidden objects on a person.

2. L-3 Communications ACX

The L-3 X-ray inspection system uses automated explosive detection systems to detect explosives in carry-on baggage by analysis of material.
