The SOTER RS which has undergone extensive
trials over a prolonged period in a number of
custodial establishments in the US have been
purchased and are now operational in one prison
in the River-bend high security state prison in
Nashville and another in New Mexico.
The use of Through Body Scanners in prisons is
regarded as the most effective way of countering
the smuggling of items such as drugs, mobile
phones, weapons and other contraband material
without subjecting inmates and visitors to intrusive
body searchers.
time and budget, the company turned to sensor
processing and display specialist Cambridge Pixel for
a solution from its hardware-agnostic SPx range of
software modules.
Kelvin Hughes selected modules for radar acquisition,
display, multi-hypothesis target tracking, fusion,
camera control, map display and control functions.
These were integrated into an easy-to-use, touchscreen-capable
display that combines sensor data
from multiple SharpEye radars, along with georeferenced
maps and multiple cameras. Radar tracks
are displayed in an easy-to-understand format to
assist the user to evaluate and coordinate a response
through a ‘detect, recognise, identify and then classify’
methodology.
CxEye integrates multiple sensors, such as radars
and cameras, into a single, easy-to-use touch-screencapable
display package. It is targeted at security and
surveillance applications including border/perimeter
security and critical infrastructure protection.
First SOTER RS Body Scanner have been sold to
US prisons
After extensive trials the first two SOTER Through
Body Scanners have been purchased and installed in
two separate prisons in the United States.
The SOTER RS is a low dosage full body scanner
which combines ultra low radiation with maximum
visibility, for use at airports and prisons. Within
seconds the SOTER RS reveals hidden items,
such as weapons or narcotics, diamonds, or any
stolen or smuggled goods. It doesn’t even have
to be metal. The SOTER shows a clear difference
between human tissue and other materials. Even
ingested or camouflaged items will be shown.
