1 OVERVIEW
The Rapiscan Eagle® A10 (“Eagle A10”) is a member of Rapiscan’s A-Series of air cargo inspection systems. It is on
the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Air Cargo Qualified Technology List. The Eagle A10 is particularly
well-suited to screening single commodity air cargo pallets rather than breaking down the pallet and screening
individual items.
The Eagle A10 has the following unique features:
• A 1 MV X-ray imaging system. The Eagle A10’s 1 MV X-ray imaging system provides the penetration required to
scan the largest air cargo containers and pallets. The resulting high-quality X-ray images enable the operator to
find hidden contraband.
• Rapiscan’s material separation technology. The Eagle A10 is offered with optional material separation capability,
which helps the inspector find low density contraband, such as explosives and narcotics. These low density
materials appear differently in the X-ray image than high density materials, such as steel. The material separation
capability requires the optional dual-energy X-ray detectors available with the Eagle A10.
• Multiple scanning configurations. The Eagle A10 can be configured as a cabinet-safe system with integral
shielding, where cargo moves through the scanner on a conveyor. Alternatively it can also be configured as a
drive-thru portal system, where cargo is towed through the scanner on dollies.
These different configurations provide solutions to meet the needs of different inspection operations.
The Eagle A10 is a 1 MV X-ray system for safe and effective inspection of air cargo. Air cargo containers and pallets
are automatically scanned as they move through the inspection tunnel. The conveyor configuration is a cabinet X-
ray system with integral shielding to protect nearby personnel. It combines the operational advantages of a
compact cabinet system with the inspection capabilities of a high-energy X-ray imaging system. The Eagle A10
can also be configured as a drive-thru portal system, where cargo is towed through the scanner on dollies. To
protect the tug driver, the X-ray beam is turned on only after the tug has driven through the unit. A nearby inspector
evaluates the resulting image to find hidden contraband. The Eagle A10 is designed to support a busy air cargo
inspection operation with a compact, easy to use and reliable unit.
The Eagle A10 has a 1 MV transmission X-ray imaging system with a linear accelerator X-ray source and L-shaped
detector array. The penetration enables scanning of the largest air cargo containers and pallets. The Eagle A10
produces high-quality X-ray images, which are immediately displayed on the operator workstation. The operator
then evaluates the image using the comprehensive features of the Rapiscan Cargo Viewer software. The optional
material separation capability, which requires the dual-energy X-ray detectors, displays low and high atomic
number materials differently, which helps identify explosives and narcotics.
The Eagle A10 offers best-in-class X-ray inspection capability. It is available with the following features:
• Inspection tunnel large enough to scan air cargo pallets and containers
• Conveyor or drive-thru configuration
• 1 MV X-ray imaging system
• Industry leading X-ray imaging quality
