In a effort to strengthen its security offerings, Abu Dhabi Airports has signed an AED 458 million contract with Smiths Detection.
This partnership will equip the Midfield Terminal with a range of systems aimed at detecting CBRE threats (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives).
The hold baggage systems include next generation of high speed explosives detection system deploying a combination of X-ray technologies. There will also be 3D workstations for outbound equipment screening by the police and 2D workstations for inbound screening by customs.
