The company will produce 300 CT scanners and ancillary equipment to help agency personnel detect potential threats in travelers carry-on luggage, TSA said Thursday.
TSA plans to begin deploying the machines at U.S. airports in the summer and continue deployment efforts through 2020 as part of the Advanced Technology X-ray program.
The agency launched a pilot program to implement CT technology in 2017 and is implementing other CT platforms as part of efforts to update operational and automated detection algorithms.
