Airports, airlines and authorities around the world trust Smiths Detection’s deep expertise in delivering integrated solutions that provide the security, operational efficiency and scalability that they need to keep their passengers, customers and infrastructure safe from threats.

Smiths Detection provides threat detection and security screening technologies for ports and borders that limit illegal activities, without affecting global trade. In the face of escalating cross-border smuggling, authorities need rigorously to monitor imports, exports, transit traffic and people for illicit goods and dangerous materials.

Public transportation networks, government buildings, prisons, public places and arenas are all highly susceptible to ongoing threats and attacks from a range of lethal weapons and explosive devices. At Smiths Detection, we deliver the cost-effective and efficient solutions needed to respond to rapidly changing threats, constantly investing and building new technologies and solutions to safeguard people and infrastructure.

Smiths Detection has worked with defence forces for almost 70 years, gaining significant insight into the needs of armed forces, as well as experience in applying smart science at the frontline. Our low-maintenance and reliable equipment produces accurate, in-real-time information about traces of explosives or other suspect materials on people, packages, vehicles or surfaces.

New regulations. Increasing passenger numbers. Exacting business goals. Three challenges that demand more complex checkpoint-security solutions. Today’s checkpoints need to be flexible, ready for the future with reliable and effective interfaces, driven by sophisticated network monitoring that increases productivity and mitigates operational risk.

Integrated checkpoint solutions from Smiths Detection are tailored to help you build a smooth passenger experience, improve efficiencies, deliver the security needed to protect people and infrastructure. Our industry-leading service technology and personnel are available for the lifespan of your equipment, providing support from planning and design to implementation and training. And beyond.

Passenger travel and air cargo volumes are increasing rapidly. So are security threats. New regulations require more powerful and intelligent systems to detect a wider range of substances and dangerous goods – wherever they might be hiding.

Our HBS solutions offer the flexibility and scalability to meet the needs of small airports, multi-terminal, and multi-airport operations alike. And our deep understanding of detection technology, regulatory compliance, and service means you have innovative solutions built to last, ready to handle the detection, business growth, and regulatory demands of tomorrow.
