Thruvision walk-through security system tested at SAN

Walk-through security technology company Thruvision announced the successful completion of operational test and evaluation for its ‘WalkTHRU’ system on Monday.

The AIM-traded firm said the National Safe Skies Alliance (Safe Skies) at San Diego International Airport conducted the assessment.

It said the evaluation took place under the auspices of Safe Skies' Airport Security System Integrated Support Testing (ASSIST) programme.

The initiative is a collaboration of entities including US commercial-service airports, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Airports Council International-North America, American Association of Airport Executives, and Airport Consultants Council.

It said the primary objective of the ASSIST programme was to assist airport operators in fulfilling security obligations, by employing a transparent process to identify, select, and execute projects aimed at enhancing airport security efficiency and effectiveness.

“The completion of testing by the National Safe Skies Alliance is a further important validation of our WalkTHRU security screening technology,” said chief executive officer Colin Evans.

“Our technology is ideally placed to help US airports meet TSA's Aviation Worker Screening National Amendment.

“It is mobile, allowing rapid redeployment, and can be used either as a standalone security capability, or to supplement existing equipment that airports may already be using.”
