This "invisible fence" system, already in place at sever- al key U.S. government and naval facil- ities, can be based on land or water and can detect a sea born attack from as far as 50-miles away. The system can be mounted on a ship, a platform or tower.

It's also an option for oil rigs.

Administration (TSA) will pilot GE's

EntryScan3 walk- through explosives detector as part of its

Transit and Rail Inspection

Pilot (TRIP) program for screening rail passengers for explo- sives. The

EntryScan3's patent- ed sample collection system takes advan- tage of a natural air- flow phenomenon called the "human convection plume."

This eliminates the need for forced air from a fan, which would stir up contam- inants, dirt and dust, and enables cleaner sample acquisition for higher detection sensitivity. EntryScan3 uses GE Ion

Track's patented Ion Trap Mobility

Spectrometer (ITMS) technology, enabling its users to detect a wider range of contraband with unprecedented sensi- tivity. It achieves this through a propri- etary ion "trap" that increases ionization efficiency, the main factor determining detection sensitivity. EntryScan3 is the only walk-through portal with versatile detection of both positive and negative ions, enabling the detection of the broadest spectrum of contraband in sec- onds.

BV Backs High-Speed

Craft Safety Design Tool

Bureau Veritas (BV) has backed a new tool designed to enhance the safety and cost-effectiveness of high-speed craft.

Dubbed the Safety at Speed (S@S) tool, the product was developed by a consor- tium of 15 companies backed by EU research funding. "This S@S design tool will help designers, class societies, yards and government authorities to evaluate high-speed craft at an early design stage, improving safety and cost- effectiveness," said Pierre Besse. research director of Bureau Veritas. The intent is to extend and customize the product for other ship types. The aims of the S@S project were to develop new design tools and methodologies that would raise the profile of safety issues at the very beginning of the design process. These aims have been exceeded with the delivery of a semi-automated design tool capable of evaluating the safety level and cost of a High Speed

Craft at the preliminary design stage.
