OSI Systems receives $18 million order for cargo and people screening systems

OSI Systems, Inc., based in Hawthorne, CA is a vertically-integrated provider of specialized electronic products for critical applications in the security and healthcare sectors. It has announced that its security division, Rapiscan Systems, has received an $18 million order to provide Eagle cargo and vehicle inspection systems and its Secure 1000 advanced people screening systems to support an unnamed U.S. Government agency.

OSI Systems CEO, Deepak Chopra, stated, “We are excited that our customers continue to rely on our high tech screening solutions for cargo and personnel. In contrast to other cargo solutions that use a technology that does not see threats hidden near the center of packed cargo containers, our proprietary Eagle technology is capable of detecting threats hidden deep inside containers and vehicles and provides a detailed image highlighting the size and location of the potential threat.”

“The Secure 1000, referred to by some as a ‘Body Scanner,’ is capable of detecting explosives and non-metallic weapons hidden on a person’s body. In fact, the Secure 1000 is proven to have the highest level of security detection capabilities in this product category,” said Chopra.
