This DHS-supported grant aims to enhance aviation security by funding the development of new equipment for screening palletized air cargo. This grant is for the purpose of identifying Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) within consolidated cargo, including those made with various commercial, military, or improvised initiation circuitry, power sources, detonators, and main explosive charges. The equipment must effectively screen pallets up to 40″ x 48″ x 60″ and 3500 lbs. This critical screening technology will be utilized by airlines and other regulated parties to thoroughly examine cargo before shipment on passenger aircraft, significantly bolstering safety measures.
