Trial Lanes
For general trials and new threat assessments there are four different terrains; sand, soil, ballast and Type 1 MOT. This enables users to test new detectors and threats to analyse performance before entering a live environment.
Scanning Frame
For repeatable performance analysis, Chelton’s scanning frame offers precise position information and controlled scanning speed over a fixed threat set for gathering of performance metrics. The terrains in the scanning pits are soil and sand.
