IDSS is the premier solutions provider for advanced threat detection globally. We work closely with US and international security agencies and regulators including, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) , Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to develop next-generation screening solutions with broad applications to protect high threat facilities and critical infrastructure.
Narcotics Detection
As part of the comprehensive government effort to address the opioid crisis, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), along with the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), are seeking new tools and technologies to detect opioids in parcels moving through international service centers and express consignment facilities.
IDSS was awarded the top prize for Non-Intrusive Detection of Opioids in parcels. IDSS utilized the superior X-ray information, image quality and artificial intelligence driven algorithms to automatically detect Opioids in parcels with low false alarm rates. IDSS is working with agencies around the world to expand narcotics detection capabilities for both passenger screening and cargo.
Massive Multiplexing
Each day, aviation security systems are put to the test as travelers with their carry-ons and hold-baggage pass through checkpoints and hold-baggage screening at airports around the world. As global airport staffing shortages persist and the potential for treats remains ever-present, there is a constant, vital need to improve both security efficiency and effectiveness.
To meet this need, security experts at Integrated Defense and Security Solutions (IDSS) and The Chertoff Group have developed a massive multiplexing system that enables checkpoint and checked baggage images generated onsite at any airport to be screened remotely at redundant centralized locations. (See Figure 1.) Our team has independently validated that our solution allows remote image review at the same speed as the local airport checkpoint with typical airport bandwidth requirements.
This system uses patented covert node technology, developed by The Chertoff Group, to insert real threat objects into the baggage stream, producing system-wide performance data for threats.
