  • Abstract
    The shipping industry is striving to increase security for cargo containers without significantly impeding traffic. Three Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) development programs are supporting this effort. SAICʹs ICIS system combines SAICʹs VACIS® γ ray imaging, radiation scanning, OCR, elemental analysis and other technologies to scan containers for nuclear materials and other hazards in normal terminal traffic. SAICʹs enhanced γ ray detector improves VACIS image resolution by a factor of three. And SAICʹs EmptyView software analyzes VACIS images to automatically verify empty containers.
