Rapiscan Systems, a leader in advanced security screening solutions, today announced that it has been awarded a $1.6 million contract to provide a Eagle transmission X-ray cargo and vehicle inspection systems to a Eastern European customs agency.

OSI Systems' CEO (Rapiscan's parent company), Deepak Chopra, stated, "This most recent order builds on the momentum of our Eagle cargo inspection product line. Customers are choosing Eagle systems because our proprietary technology offers both extremely high resolution imaging of both organic and inorganic threats, while also detecting threats that are shielded or in the center of a cargo container and that could be missed by other detection technologies."
