European Commission and Ukrainian, Belorussian and Moldovan Customs Deploy Rapiscan Eagle Mobile Cargo Screening Solution

Advanced X-Ray Technology Used to Combat Cross Border Criminal Activity
REDHILL, England--(Business Wire)--
Rapiscan Systems, a leading supplier of security inspection systems, has
announced that the European Commission has handed over the first of 12 Eagle
M4500 series mobile X-ray systems to be deployed at different crossing points
between the Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Russia and European Union (EU) countries.
The deployment is part of an EU project to enhance border and customs controls
in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. The new Eagle Mobile high-energy X-ray systems
will help the State Customs Services of Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine combat arms
and drug smuggling, counterfeiting, revenue fraud and other cross border
criminal activities. The multi-year European Commission contract, which was
awarded following a global competitive tender, funds the deployment of twelve
Rapiscan Eagle M4500 series mobile systems as well as training and on-going
technical support.

The EU Border Assistance Mission has a mandate to provide the best available
border and customs control and security scanning equipment to participating
countries. In this case, the Eagle M4500 series mobile X-ray systems will enable
Border Guards and Customs Departments in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine to better
fight criminal cross-border activities. The EU economy and the economies of its
neighbours can be put at risk by the smuggling of high-taxed goods and
counterfeit products. Criminal organisations target and exploit the EU`s
external borders which raise significant security concerns for all concerned
governments.

Terry Whittock, Rapiscan`s Managing Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa
commented: "The superior image resolution, mobility and penetration of the Eagle
M4500 series mobile`s transmission x-ray technology make it an ideal tool in the
global fight against narcotics, contraband and weapons smuggling. Rapiscan
equipment will support Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova Customs and the EU in their
vital work to improve security and safeguard global trade."

The Rapiscan Eagle M4500 series is a family of mobile 4.5 MV X-ray cargo
inspection systems capable of travelling on public roads. The system`s advanced
high energy transmission X-ray technology is capable of detecting both shielded
and unshielded organic and inorganic threats, regardless of location, in both
vehicles and cargo containers. The units are built on a commercially available
solid frame truck chassis that supports both the X-ray imaging system itself and
the onboard Inspector`s Cab. The system includes all the components and
capabilities required to scan containers, vehicles and a wide range of cargo.
The road mobile inspection systems can easily be driven to a site in response to
any changing operational requirements. Within 20 minutes the unit is ready to
scan an unoccupied parked truck or line of trucks in either the forward or
reverse direction. The systems meet international and local road worthiness,
operation, quality and safety standards, and are one of a select number of
security screening solutions to have received certification under the U.S.
Safety Act.

The systems deployed were built in Rapiscan`s UK production facility near
Manchester, where, since its opening in April 2007, more than 50 high energy
cargo systems have been manufactured and shipped to twelve countries on three
continents.
