Analogic Corporation has received an order from L-3 Communications for EXplosive Assessment Computed Tomography (EXACT) systems valued at approximately $15 million. This order, which follows an order received in August 2007, calls for shipments to begin in June 2008. The EXACT is the heart of the certified eXaminer 3DX Explosives Detection System developed jointly by L-3 and Analogic and distributed exclusively by L-3 for screening checked baggage at airports. The system features advanced multislice CT imaging technology and provides full 3-D images of all the contents of a bag, enabling automatic detection of explosives.

More than 800 eXaminer 3DX systems have been deployed and are screening bags 16 hours a day, seven days a week.

Analogic Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of security subsystems sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers. The company is engaged in automatic explosives detection, computed tomography, digital radiography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.
