WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - L-3 Communications (LLL) announced that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration or TSA has purchased 300 ProVision ATD personnel screening systems for use at aviation checkpoints. The contract value of this order is $44.8 million and production of these units is underway. TSA is also in the process of upgrading 250 existing ProVision units deployed at 40 U.S. airports with the new image-free ATD software under a separate contract with L-3.
The millimeter wave-based ProVision ATD automatically detects potential threats and highlights their location on a generic mannequin that appears on a monitor attached to the ProVision ATD.
