The WG Mobile X-Ray Screening system is a rapidly deployable mobile X-Ray vehicle that uses a special version of the WG IS100X X-Ray Baggage Scanner with fold up conveyors, and is capable of detecting organic and inorganic items such as weapons, explosives and narcotics.
It is built into a Ford 450E van and includes a diesel power generator that supports all the utilities on board the vehicle, including the X-Ray machine and the air conditioning in the operator's compartment.
The X-Ray Scanner has a 100.6cm width x 100.6cm height tunnel that will easily accommodate the inspection of luggage and large parcels. The WG IS100X uses a high-resolution x-ray detector array that increases detection sensitivity, improves image resolution and optimises image presentation.
