How to Find the Right Product
Cargo screening is one of the most urgent items on the agenda of virtually every security manager of every transport or shipping-related facility. There are currently 38 different products and technologies, offered by 10 vendors. You need a knowledgeable, unbiased, independent and unaffiliated advisor to bring you the facts about these companies and their technologies and products.
This is why HSRC is launching its Homeland Security Product Comparison Report (HPC) series, covering every aspect in the screening industry.

For each technology, the report describes existing vendors and products, and provides a much needed analysis of the crucial operational and ownership aspects such as:

The Homeland Security Research team of experts and analysts worked for a year to give you a clear, usable and relevant comparison of available technologies prices [including U.S. government prices] and products. The report explains available technologies clearly and concisely, presents product specifications in an easy-to-compare table format, and accompanies every subject with a no-nonsense discussion covering every important financial and operational aspect.
