Opening Day at the World Border Security Conference in Madrid ? Our Product Manager (Sean Simon) – Excelling the virtues of the Discovery? System and Muon Tomography and its usefulness in the NII ecosystem. ? Sean explains to an attentive audience the reasons and areas where Muon Tomography picks up where HE X-Ray systems stop, additionally as a Multi-Mode PASSIVE system the advances in AI/ML application shows human beings hidden in containers, all in less than 3 minutes. Why don’t we give Customs Officers/Inspectors, officials and law enforcement access to the tools they need to comprehensively inspect the complete range of cargoes in the stream of commerce; give them access to a Discovery? system. ?

Why is muon technology particularly effective for scanning high-density maritime cargoes? “Unlike X-rays, muons ( Charged particles) pass through very dense materials with ease, including materials such as lead and steel, making them ideal for inspecting large, naturally shielded cargo containers. Since Maritime cargo often consists of massive and dense shipments, traditional X-ray or gamma-ray scanners really struggle to penetrate fully, generally leaving ≥30% of consignments not fully inspected! Muon tomography and the Decision Sciences Discovery? system provide a viable solution for thorough inspections without disrupting trade flow. Muon tomography can distinguish between different materials based on their atomic number and bulk density. This helps in identifying contraband and anomalies, such as shielded nuclear materials or smuggled goods, often hidden inside dense cargo sets. Unlike traditional inspection methods, often requiring devanning of the consignment, Muon tomography can negate the necessity for the opening of a majority of containers due to its exceptional, almost infinite penetration characteristics. ? Muons are naturally occurring charged particles (often referred to as cosmic rays) that penetrate Earth's atmosphere, as such they don't require an artificial radiation source to produce imagery and associated data sets. This makes Muon Tomography with the Discovery? system a safe and cost-effective NII technology to insert into a layered CONOPS for Customs, port authorities and Border agencies. ? These, along with advantages such as true 3D imagery make Muon tomography a powerful tool for improving security and efficiency in the maritime stream of commerce. “ #muontomography #nonintrusivescanning #cargosecurity #cargoscanning #Discovery #drugtrafficking #safe #humantrafficking #nonintrusiveinspection #DSIC #decisionsciences #worldbordersecuritycongress

Did you know - Discovery’s? unparalleled penetration capability lets operators see anywhere inside a container and gives them a unique 3D/360 visualization of its contents. With traditional 2D scans it can sometimes be difficult to understand the relationship between overlapping objects. 3D image scanning gives operators the ability to isolate and examine objects from multiple angles. This speeds up the decision-making process, keeping the traffic moving at high-traffic facilities like ports or key land border crossings. 3D imaging also allows AI and ML systems to learn more quickly making each new automated scan, better than the last!

Did you know that Decision Science's Discovery? NII inspection system has no moving parts? That means its maintenance cost are minimal. You might also consider that Discovery? is passive using naturally occurring charged particles and generates no radiation. That means there’s no requirement to build protective walls or buildings to protect staff and drivers. Together this means that on average, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the lifetime of the equipment is only about 30% of a typical High Energy X-ray system used by customs authorities at most ports and border crossings. This significantly reduces the annual running costs and easily translates into considerable savings for customs authorities operating this cutting-edge technology.

Muon Tomography Blows Minds at the WCO Technology Conference 2024 https://lnkd.in/esdgQJGr

Day 2 at the WCO Tech Conf in Rio de Janeiro today. Great to be spreading the Muography story for NII use within the Global Customs community. Starting with our Product Manager, Sean Simon who gave a great Tech Talk to a packed audience and later in the day I was privileged to be moderating a plenary session debating "the transformative potential of detection technology by exploring the latest advancements in the field and highlighting their impact on enhancing border security, combating illicit trade, and facilitating legitimate commerce." with Customs experts from US CBP, ZATCA ( Saudi Customs ), Argentinian Customs as well as Dr Mark Procter from Rapiscan.

The Decision Science’s team were honored to participate in this year’s prestigious Muography Workshop in historic Santa Fe. There were great presentations by our very own Sean Simon on ‘ML applications for Image Enhancement in Muon Tomography’ and Konstantin Borozdin on ‘Muon Tomography for Commercial Applications’. If you would like more details on these presentations, please get in touch.
