3 Explosive Trace Detection - Application Detection Reveals invisible threats Identifies substances by name Also works for illegal drugs Variety of security applications Aviation security Infrastructure protection Building and event security Military and First Responder Mass transit And more! Company Confidential 3

4 Explosives Trace Detection Technology The ETD technology is a process of sample collection and substance identification Ion Mobility Spectrometry Analytical technique; separates and identifies ionized molecules based on drift time in a carrier gas False Alarm Rate some systems 2-5%; QS-B220 < 0.5% Analysis time 8-12 seconds Detection: commercial, military, and homemade explosives. Illegal drugs, incl synthetics (Spice drugs) Only security technique that detects and identifies actual threats Detects and identifies incredibly small amounts (nanograms, or less) trace levels 4

13 ETD in Aviation Security Today The Gold Standard Largely deployed as secondary screening tech - alarm resolution Checkpoints/ Checked baggage In Europe deployed as primary screening xx% of passengers Systems operationally robust thousands deployed for decades Only true explosives detection system widely deployed Offers scalability in detection of emerging threats X-ray technologies are based on bulk properties of explosives ETD gives you true identification of explosives molecular level Flexible platform for integrated security & data analysis Systems are typically network ready and secure Remote monitoring capabilities - upgrades, service, maintenance Training is simple 13

14 Selection Criteria for ETD Detection (meets global certifications) False Alarm Rate Cost of ownership Throughput/ impact on operations Ability to handle contamination (hand sampling) Ionization (radiation regulatory issues) Training Company Confidential 14

15 Selection Criteria for ETD Detection (meets global certifications) False Alarm Rate Cost of ownership Throughput/ impact on operations Ability to handle contamination (hand sampling) Ionization (radiation regulatory issues) Company Confidential 15

16 Detection - Global Certifications Certifications = confidence in detection and operation Extensive testing done both in lab/ operational testing Products certified by all 3 agencies meet global standards Able to detect all current threats Accepted by all destination countries TSA US ECAC Europe CAAC China Company Confidential 16

17 Selection Criteria for ETD Detection (meets global certifications) False Alarm Rate Cost of ownership Throughput/ impact on operations Ability to handle contamination (hand sampling) Ionization (radiation regulatory issues) Company Confidential 17

18 ETD False Alarm Rates What is FAR? The % of samples taken that alarms on a threat where no such threat is present Excludes true positive, no threat occurrences such as heart medication and fertilizer on golf shoes Lower FAR vs. conventional X-ray/CT technologies While low, false alarm rates can impact Checkpoint throughput Operational costs Passenger experience Operator confidence Threat deterrence

19 The Impact of False Alarms on Passengers Airport Passengers/Year ( 14 data) Passengers Affected (false alarms per year*) Heathrow 40,170, ,641 Charles de Gaulle 34,938, ,018 Schiphol 30,100, ,877 Munich 21,736,115 81,510 Gatwick 20,856,830 78,213 Barcelona 20,563,735 77,114 Oslo 13,287,460 49,828 *Incoming passengers only go through security (assume 50% are incoming), 15% passenger screening rate with ETD, Assumes a generic 2.5% False Alarm Rate 19

20 Direct Costs of a High ETD False Alarm Rate Scenario: Airport with 30,000,000 passengers/year 2,250,000 Passengers/year screened with ETD (15% of outgoing) Each 1% of FAR will lead to 22,500 false alarms/year The cost of each false alarm event is approximately 2 Annual costs of each 1% of FA is 45,000 /year Here, the difference between a FAR of 5% and under 1% is > 200,000/year; dramatically impacts airport operations 20

21 Probability of Detection vs False Alarm 21

22 Probability of Detection vs False Alarm High Pd Low Pd 22

23 High FAR = High Impact on Operations Security Effectiveness Distracted security officers refocus away from real threat Lack of confidence in the equipment High FAR result in operators mistrusting technology Making judgment on resolution protocols Operational Efficiency Lower throughput, longer queues Alarms must be resolved via established protocol Re-screening with ETD Additional consumables are costly Pat-down/physical search In some instances, law enforcement/k9 called Lost revenue to shops/airport concessions Passenger Dissatisfaction Passengers uncomfortable Irritation/embarrassment - bag opened or given pat down Longer time waiting in security 23

24 Selection Criteria for ETD Detection (meets global certifications) False Alarm Rate Cost of ownership Throughput/ impact on operations Ability to handle contamination (hand sampling) Ionization (radiation regulatory issues) Company Confidential 24

25 Ability to Handle Contamination ETDs used to sample passenger s hands can become contaminated Optimized software designed for Customers who sample on hands High throughput Customers using ETD for primary screening Benefits: Improves performance for using ETD for primary screening Maintains detection performance even in presence of high contamination Increases # of samples able to be taken in a day Significantly decreases cost of maintenance Improves MTBF Reduces service calls Lessens total cost of ownership Will improve performance in a variety of environments including aviation, commercial and cargo Provides lab performance in a real world environment Company Confidential 25
