(SAN DIEGO) - Science Applications International Corporation's (SAIC) Security and Transportation Technology Business Unit today announced that its Portal VACIS® cargo, vehicle and contraband inspection system, EXPLORANIUM™ AT-900 radiation portal monitor, and EXPLORANIUM™ GR-135 handheld radiation isotope identifier have been selected by U.N. Ro-Ro Isletmeleri, owners and operators of the Port of Pendik, Istanbul, Turkey.

“With increased security considerations throughout the world, we are proud to be the pioneers of such an advanced technology system in Turkey,” said Cuneyt Solakoglu, vice president of U.N. Ro-Ro. “This enhanced portal VACIS system and integrated EXPLORANIUM Radiation Portal Monitor will enable us to comply with ISPS and CSI standards, making U.N. Ro-Ro Port of Pendik the first port to achieve this standard in Turkey. This integrated system will allow us to scan vehicles and cargo for hidden compartments, stowaways, radioactive materials, contraband and manifest verification. We thank SAIC for their contribution to our efforts.”

SAIC's VACIS inspection systems are gamma-ray based systems designed to non-intrusively inspect the contents of trucks, containers and cargo to assist with manifest verification, tariff collection, and the identification of contraband, explosives, weapons or other suspicious items. VACIS systems are available in mobile, pallet, railroad, relocatable and portal configurations, with the Portal VACIS unit designed for use at high-volume port gates and checkpoints.

SAIC's EXPLORANIUM AT-900 Radiation Portal Monitor scans vehicles and containers for radioactive sources. Positive radiation identification triggers audible and visual alarms for the system operator to initiate follow-up source localization and nuclide classification with the EXPLORANIUM GR-135 handheld radiation isotope identifier. These VACIS and EXPLORANIUM products can contribute to greater security at the Port of Pendik, with minimal effect on vehicle throughput.

SAIC's Security and Transportation Technology Business Unit will provide installation, testing, training, and maintenance to the Port of Pendik, Istanbul. SAIC currently has more than 240 VACIS systems and more than 2,000 EXPLORANIUM radiation portal monitors deployed and operational globally.
