CASRA announces the development and roll-out of new X-ray training modules for air cargo screening operations

CASRA, the leading organization for security research and applications, announces today the development and roll-out of new X-ray training modules for air cargo screening operations. Effective air border management is a must-have as organized crime groups find faster and innovative methods to transport drugs and other illicit goods by using aircrafts.

CASRA has been providing training for Customs organizations in baggage screening and high energy (trucks and containers) screening for several years through its computer-based training application, X-Ray Tutor 4. “This development in our Customs & Borders capabilities will further support Customs and border officers screening air cargo and mail” – says Alex Kunz, CASRA’s Vice Director. “Thanks to our proven methodology for X-ray content generation – continues Kunz – we are proud to be able to offer training data that includes the most diversified illicit goods, such as narcotics and pharmaceuticals, tobacco, currency and valuables as well as protected species and that prepares the officers for the challenges of live operation”. The new air cargo and mail & parcel modules are available as single view and dual view.
