Bahia 21

BAHIA 21 Corporation is a US based company that offer with its partners, a broad portfolio of security solutions, for military and anti-terrorism applications, for the US Armed Forces, the US Department of Energy and several European organizations. BAHIA 21 latest development, the SIZO family of systems, is generating a lot of interest in the field of protection of the public.

One of our lead products, the MO-2M hand held explosive detector, is used worldwide to screen passengers for trace of explosives, to check break bulk and palletised cargo as well as live cargo. With its very high sensitivity, this ultra lightweight detector operates mainly in direct vapour mode, requiring no consumable, and thus offering the lowest operating cost. The MO-2M is also wireless enabled, and can be readily integrated within Airport security network.

Our electronic detection devices are valuable assets to screen cargo for the concealed electronics of explosive devices. Similarly, our SIZO systems, designed to block cell phones, when permitted by law, in precisely defined area could be used to secure certain areas of an airport and even planes against illegal traffic or bombs.

Today, security is a fundamental tenet of Airport Operations as terrorists are willing to commit high profile attacks. While concealed weapons can easily be detected with today’s technology, searching for explosives remains very challenging. Despite the heavy capital investment, detection of explosives remains time-consuming task that still extensively relies on human intervention.

BAHIA 21 Corporation is focused on bringing to the market GAMMA BLUE, a novel automatic explosives detection system solutions that provide more efficient detection capabilities at a lower acquisition and operating costs. BAHIA 21, with its partners, provides a broad range of products that give airport security personnel many options to counter or prevent acts of terrorism from hand held devices, portals, to sophisticated (novel) neutron based automatic explosive detection systems .
