SIEGMA 3E3
The SIEGMATM 3E3 is a portable suitcase Atometer detector designed to address the problems and public safety concerns posed by unattended, suspicious bags and packages, in addition to remotely detecting and identifying terrorist bombs and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
Unlike X-ray machines that are limited in their detection capabilities, in as little as 90 seconds the SIEGMA 3E3 has been demonstrated to non-invasively and remotely detect and confirm, through metal or other barriers, the presence of explosives in an object with a probability of detection of about 97%, and “false positive” and “false negative” rates of about 3%.
The SIEGMA systems are ideally suited for:
- Private & public transportation
- Bomb squads
- Airports and customs
- Military applications
- Private event security (sports venues, concerts)
- Government and high security facility protection
The SIEGMA 3E3 is housed entirely within an aluminum case with wheels, providing a great advantage for the detection of suspicious objects in areas inaccessible by vehicle-borne systems. The SIEGMA 3E3 includes a self-contained and rechargeable power supply and weighs about 100 pounds.
The system is operated remotely via a fiber optic connection to a portable or handheld computer and employs our proprietary “Interrogator” software and analytics. Using our proprietary algorithms, the remote computer processes the data and yields a graph and plot of the potential explosive or substance, as well as estimated mass.
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) presents the results and informs the operator if explosives are present based on the ratios of elements, including but not limited to carbon, hydrogen nitrogen and oxygen.
The SIEGMA 3E3 can also determine the presence of other non-explosive substances such as lead, which if detected in combination with explosives would be a certain warning sign of potential countermeasures used to disguise explosives or shrapnel.
