| English term or phrase: Advanced Spectroscopic Portal | TEWKSBURY, Mass., Nov. 20, 2006 -- Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN) delivered the first four engineering development models of the Advanced Spectroscopic Portal (ASP) to the Department of Homeland Security Nov. 14, four months after the initial contract award.
"This is a tremendous effort by our Raytheon-led ASP team in a very rapid response to an urgent and critical homeland security need," said Mary Petryszyn, Raytheon vice president of Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems' Joint Battlespace Integration business team.
Advanced spectroscopic portals are panel-like devices that contain detectors used to screen people, cars, trucks and containers for illicit radioactive materials at some of the more than 600 ports of entry into the United States. This new generation of portals is needed to improve discrimination between innocent and threat materials, which will reduce the number of false alarms compared to the first generation of screening portals currently in place.
Please respond only if you happen to know for sure. Don't hazard a guess, I can do that on my own. |
