Cargo Scanning

The threat of potentially catastrophic acts of terrorism continues to grow. The global transportation industry is particularly vulnerable to the threat of nuclear terrorism and is looking for tools to resolve serious, porous security vulnerabilities.

Decision Sciences offers national security and transportation industry stakeholders throughout the world a solution to a critical, unresolved security problem: the accurate detection of shielded nuclear materials within cargo containers.

Risk Mitigation

Terminal operators within maritime ports touch 90% of global trade. Decision Sciences offers maritime port operators the opportunity to mitigate the risk of a nuclear disruption within their operations by providing them with a safe, accurate method of detecting bare, shielded and masked nuclear material hidden within cargo containers moving through their operations.

Cost Minimization

The environmental, material and human costs of an act of nuclear terrorism within the global supply chain are almost incalculable. Decision Sciences recognizes the need for robust national security and counter-terrorism planning and is developing tools to help accomplish the critical mission of improving national security.

Decision Sciences is developing a Multi-Mode Passive Detection System, MMPDS, to improve the security of cargo scanning operations around the world. The use of Decision Science' MMPDS will allow operators to safely, quickly and accurately avoid the wrongful clearance of dangerous shielded nuclear material.

Not only will Decision Sciences' MMPDS improve the effectiveness of cargo scanning operations but Decision Sciences' passive inspection technology will improve worker safety and reduce the need for and expense of exclusion zones currently required for active scanning equipment.
