Smiths Detection, a global leader in security screening equipment, is ready to meet increased demand in India. With the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) mandating 3D CTX machines for major Indian airports, the company aims to enhance pre-embarkation security. Collaborating with BCAS and airport operators, Smiths plans a seamless transition. While the machines are currently made abroad, plans to establish local manufacturing are in progress. The company has halted body scanner production for Indian airports. The upgrade also includes dual-view scanners by 2024. Improved security and smoother passenger experiences are expected with CTX machines.
