Each day, aviation security systems are put to the test as travelers with their carry-ons and checked/hold-baggage pass through checkpoints and hold-baggage screening at airports around the world. As global airport staffing shortages persist and the potential for threats remains ever-present, there is a constant, vital need to improve both security efficiency and effectiveness.

To meet this need, security experts The Chertoff Group, along with our partners at Integrated Defense and Security Solutions (IDSS), have developed a Gigaplex™ system that enables checkpoint and checked baggage images generated onsite at any airport to be screened remotely at redundant centralized locations.

This twice patented covert node technology, developed by The Chertoff Group’s Lee Kair, can insert real threat objects into the baggage stream, producing system-wide performance data for threats. Our team has validated that this solution enables remote image review at the same speed as the local airport checkpoint with typical airport bandwidth requirements.
