Hand Held Backscatter Scanner
Non-Intrusive Real-Time Imaging for Rapid Threat Identification
The Hand Held Backscatter Scanner is a compact, man-portable X-ray imaging device designed for rapid, non-intrusive inspection of suspicious objects, packages, baggage, vehicles, walls, and containers.
Unlike conventional transmission X-ray systems, backscatter technology highlights low-density and organic materials, making it highly effective for detecting concealed explosives, narcotics, contraband, wiring, and electronic components.
Kapri Corp offers field-proven handheld backscatter scanners suited for EOD/IEDD teams, BDDS, Police, ATS, Intelligence Units, Customs, Border Security, and Critical Infrastructure protection—where speed, portability, and immediate visual confirmation are essential.
