MBX

MBX is a mobile X ray backscatter screening system designed for flexible field inspection of vehicles, cargo, and large objects. It is deployed where rapid response, mobility, and minimal infrastructure are required, and where fixed inspection systems are not available or not practical. The system supports detection tasks related to contraband and high risk items, with strong sensitivity to organic materials such as narcotics and explosives.

MBX uses a backscatter imaging approach with an open scanning concept. As the system is not limited by a tunnel geometry, it allows inspection of a wide range of targets, including passenger vehicles, delivery vehicles, trucks, pallets, and other large loads, without unloading or opening compartments in most operational scenarios.

The MBX system is designed as a self-contained mobile inspection platform capable of operating in demanding environmental conditions. System components are protected for use in hot and cold climates, and the software architecture supports integration and communication with other systems. Remote access and connectivity options support operational coordination and technical support where required.

Operational Capability Overview

Purpose, Application, and Risk Environment

Purpose: MBX systems are deployed to provide mobile, non-intrusive screening of vehicles and cargo in situations requiring rapid deployment, flexible positioning, and limited site preparation. They enable controlled inspection workflows in locations where manual searches or fixed installations would be inefficient or unavailable.

Application Environments: MBX is suited for border and customs operations, ports and logistics corridors, roadside and temporary checkpoints, event security perimeters, and rapid response deployments where mobile vehicle or cargo screening is required.

Operational Risk Context: Mobile inspection teams often operate under time pressure, space constraints, and changing traffic conditions. Manual inspection can be inconsistent and resource intensive. MBX provides a repeatable screening method that supports faster decision making and allows inspection capability to be repositioned as operational priorities change.

Functional Capability Overview

1. Mobile Backscatter X Ray Inspection 
Provides mobile inspection of vehicles, cargo, and large objects using backscatter imaging in field deployments.

2. Organic Material Oriented Detection 
Supports inspection tasks where detection of organic materials such as narcotics and explosives is operationally relevant.

3. Open Scanning Concept for Variable Targets 
Enables inspection of a wide range of object sizes without tunnel restrictions, reducing the need for unloading or re handling.

4. Flexible Operational Inspection Modes 
Supports different inspection workflows to adapt to checkpoint layout, traffic control, and site constraints, including stationary and movement based screening.

5. Field Ready Design and System Connectivity 
Designed for operation in demanding environmental conditions and supports system connectivity and integration with other security and operational platforms.
