Cargo & Contraband Detection - Sentinel

High-Resolution, Material-Specific Cargo Scanning

High-resolution, material-specific scanning of freight and cargo to detect shielded material, hidden content, organic materials, explosives, narcotics, weapons, and nuclear materials in a single pass.

The Challenge

Cargo Screening Needs Material Evidence, Not Just Shape Recognition

The operational pain is uncertainty in dense, shielded, or mixed shipments, not a lack of images.

Shielded or Dense Cargo

Dense or shielded shipments can reduce confidence in hidden-content assessment and increase the need for escalation.

Organic and Mixed Materials

Organic materials and other risk-relevant contents can be difficult to differentiate reliably in complex cargo.

Manual Inspection Burden

False alarms and unresolved scans can trigger manual checks, operational delay, personnel burden, and logistics cost.

THE Sourcelight ADVANTAGE

SENTINEL Adds Material Evidence to Existing Cargo Security Workflows



SENTINEL adapts the shared SourceLight platform into a cargo-specific inspection configuration.

01

Structural Cargo View

MeV X-rays provide high-penetration structural imaging of dense or shielded cargo.

02

Fused Inspection Dataset

Synchronized data supports hidden-content evidence interpretation of complex shipments.

03

Material-Risk Evidence

Fast neutrons add composition-relevant material signatures, supporting material-risk assessment for shielded organics and other risk-relevant materials.

04

Workflow Decision Support

The intended output supports inspection, escalation, clearance, and further investigation workflows.

INTEGRATION CONCEPTS

Flexible Deployment Models

LDRS can operate as:

  • A secondary validation unit following conventional scanners
  • A primary screening replacement system
  • A mobile unit for non-standard environments

Automated material classification enables real-time pass/fail decisions and reduces reliance on individual determinations.

OPERATIONAL IMPACT

Faster Verification. Better Decisions.

A process that once required hours can now be completed in a single high-resolution scan, delivering faster decisions with greater security.
