HAWTHORNE, Calif., April 24 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has contracted OSI Systems Inc. to support the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office's data-fusion program.
California-based OSI Systems, a developer of security and inspection systems among other technologies, says its security division, Rapiscan Systems, will perform the work on the next phase DNDO data-fusion program contract. Officials say under the $1.5 million deal, Rapiscan Systems will work to improve existing nuclear threat detection techniques through the development of integrated algorithms.
The data-fusion program, through the development of X-ray and neutron based inspection methods, is an effort to deploy improved nuclear threat detection systems for the screening of cargo and containers.
"This effort underscores the commitment and quality of our engineers in the development of advanced detection algorithms that utilize both X-ray and neutron technologies," Ajay Mehra, Rapiscan Systems president, said in a statement. "We look forward to continuing our work with the DNDO to develop systems that enable for the non-intrusive inspection of cargo for the detection of contraband items."
