OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS), a vertically-integrated provider of
specialized electronic products for critical applications in the
Security and Healthcare industries, announced today that its Security
division, Rapiscan Systems, received $13.2 million in contract orders
from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Included in this
total was: funding for Phase Two of the TSA’s
Security Technology Integrated Program (“STIP”),
orders for Threat Image Projection Ready X-Ray (TRX) systems and
peripheral equipment orders.
On June 6, 2006, Rapiscan Systems announced that it had been awarded an
$800,000 grant from the TSA for Phase One of the STIP for the
development, testing and piloting of software to network security
equipment at 450 airports throughout the United States. In Phase Two of
the program, Rapiscan Systems will implement the software throughout its
installed base of checkpoint X-ray systems, a project it expects to
complete by the end of the fiscal year.
Rapiscan Systems President, Mr. Ajay Mehra, said, "This contract
underscores the ongoing relationship between the TSA and Rapiscan to
enhance aviation security. We applaud the TSA for fostering
public-private partnerships such as this as it allows true collaboration
in developing the most sophisticated, comprehensive solutions to today's
complex security challenges."
STIP is expected to provide more accurate and timely information to key
decision makers in the TSA. To do so, security equipment (metal
detectors, X-ray machines, explosive detection systems, etc.) can be
connected as a network, capable of sending data between disparate sites
and machines. The initiative will also allow administrative and
technical communications such as streamlined security updates, alerting
functions, remote maintenance and monitoring and asset management.
