Welcome to Smiths Detection
Smiths Detection offers advanced integrated security solutions based on trace detection equipment, X-ray screening systems and other proven and developing technologies. Our systems safeguard those in the front line and the public at large; protecting buildings and transport systems; screening everything from a ticket to a truck.
Our detection equipment is used by military forces and public service workers who need to be equipped for chemical agent detection and biological warfare agent identification; by staff responsible for airport security, transportation security and critical infrastructure security; by customs officers responsible for contraband detection and cargo security (based on x-ray screening), and by the emergency services.
Smiths Detection is a world leader in transportation security, notably airport x-ray systems used in the search for illegal and dangerous items or for explosives detection in checked baggage, hand-baggage or on passengers themselves. Our specialist software supply business allows the management of large sensor and video surveillance networks.
