The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has tasked Leidos with upgrading its entire fleet of airport security checkpoints. The project involves upgrading all the TSA’s Pro: Vision Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) systems with a new artificial intelligence-based algorithm.
The upgrade, which is expected to take several months, is expected to strengthen airport security with an improved threat detection methodology that will significantly reduce false alarms.
“We’re excited to have the opportunity to work with the TSA to further improve the technology and the passenger screening experience at security checkpoints,” said Brad Busell, Senior VP and Operations Manager at Leidos. “These new algorithms will help reduce false alarms that lead to unnecessary pat downs and checkpoint inefficiencies.”
