Backscatter Security Scanner for Military use, Rapiscan Systems, Inc.

JAMCO designed a robust, modular, field-deployable backscatter personnel imaging system for
use throughout theater of operations in the Middle East and elsewhere. This scanner is a light
weight system which breaks down into four components that can easily be transported by
helicopter or Humvee and erected within 15 minutes by a two man team. This design met
stringent requirements for ruggedness and reliability, passing challenging qualification testing
to be certified for use. JAMCO designed the x-ray source module, consisting of a 2 axis
‘elevator’ mechanism and enclosure, and a quick-disconnect platform for that and two
detectors (designed by others). JAMCO manufactured approximately 70 of these systems for
Rapiscan.
