Abstract: The present invention consists of a method and a scanning system for the nonintrusive inspection of vehicles, container trucks and train carriages, realized without direct human intervention upon the inspected object, thus eliminating time wasting activities like physical control, unsealing, etc. The proposed method for nonintrusive inspection of vehicles and containers has a high inspection capacity (up to 200 vehicles per hour), by achieving a complete vehicle radiography (except the driver's cabin), while driving through a scanning portal, geometrically optimized to be transported rapidly in ISO standardized containers using conventional transport systems (airplane, ship, train, or terrestrial on public roads). The system which implements the method presented earlier is constituted from a mobile scanning unit and a mobile control center which is positioned outside the exclusion area “a” which remotely command all the processes involved in the nonintrusive inspection.

Abstract: The nonintrusive control method consists in using a tugging device attached to the aircraft's landing gear which is towing the aircraft over a detector line, detector line fixed onto the runway under a penetrating radiation source held by a telescopic boom fixed on a mobile scanning unit. The aircraft is towed with constant speed and electronically controlled in a secured and delimited perimeter. The system consists of a mobile scanning unit (MSU), controlled remotely by a towable mobile control center positioned outside an exclusion area. The MSU consists of a telescopic boom holding on its extremity a penetrating radiation source and a detector line fixed onto the runway and a tugging device, which attaches to the aircraft's undercarriage.

Abstract: The present invention consists of a method and a scanning system for the nonintrusive inspection of aircrafts. The nonintrusive control method, according to the invention, consists in using a tugging device attached to the aircraft's landing gear which tows the said aircraft over a detector line, said detector line fixed onto the runway and under a penetrating radiation source held by a telescopic boom fixed on a mobile scanning unit. The aircraft is towed with constant speed and electronically controlled in a secured and delimited perimeter. The system, according to the invention consists of a mobile scanning unit (MSU), controlled remotely by a towable mobile control center (11) (MCC). The system also includes an exclusion area a perimeter protection subsystem (9).
