X-Ray Deployable Portable Vehicle Scanner
The Madoors USA Madoorsscan PVS-350 is a rapid-deployment, low-transmission X-ray portable vehicle inspection system specifically designed for military camps and bases, border checkpoints, customs control, and event security — scanning vehicles up to the size of a small van in a single pass with sub-millimetre resolution, fully ANSI 43.17-2009 compliant for occupied vehicle scanning with passengers remaining inside. Deployable and operational in 15 minutes by a single operator using the integrated automatic hydraulic system, self-powered through the integrated generator, and controllable from a remote laptop imaging station, the PVS-350 replaces vehicle physical searches that can take up to 8 hours — including subsequent rebuild time — with a complete, detailed view of the entire vehicle interior in minutes, without intrusive hand searching or vehicle disassembly.
Available in static fixed configuration and mobile configuration mountable on multi-terrain vehicles and low-cost motorized trailers for regional deployment across multiple locations, the PVS-350 provides the most cost-effective flexible solution for security screening of vehicles at checkpoints, border crossings, event venues, and any location requiring rapidly deployed non-intrusive vehicle inspection.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoorsscan PVS-350 uses low-transmission X-ray technology — delivering an ultra-low radiation dose that is fully compliant with ANSI 43.17-2009 for general people screening. This ultra-low dose compliance allows vehicle occupants to remain inside the vehicle during scanning — eliminating the passenger evacuation requirement of higher-dose systems and maintaining the operational convenience and throughput rate of the checkpoint. ANSI 43.17-2009 compliance provides the regulatory documentation required for deployment at checkpoints where the scanning authority must demonstrate that the system meets the applicable radiation safety standard for scanning occupied vehicles.
Image resolution is sub-millimetre — providing the fine detail required for identification of small threat objects, thin-walled concealment compartments, and low-density contraband materials that lower-resolution systems would miss. This sub-millimetre resolution in a single scan pass provides the combined speed and detail required for rapid accurate threat assessment without multiple passes or extended operator analysis time.
The integrated automatic hydraulic system deploys the X-ray scanning structure from the transport configuration to the operational scanning position automatically — a single operator can complete the full deployment sequence without manual lifting, positioning, or adjustment. This single-operator automatic deployment reduces the personnel requirement for checkpoint establishment and eliminates the physical effort and safety risk of manual deployment of large scanning structures.
The integrated power generator provides completely self-sufficient operation at any location — no external power supply connection is required. This power independence allows the PVS-350 to be deployed at remote checkpoints, temporary event locations, and any site where mains power is not available or has not been established.
The integrated operator cabin provides a protected, controlled environment workstation for the checkpoint operator — protecting the operator from weather conditions and providing a secure, private space for image analysis and threat assessment. Remote laptop operation allows the operator to control the system and view images from any position within the remote control range — providing additional operational flexibility for threat assessment in sensitive or security-critical scenarios.
Mounting options cover multi-terrain vehicles for off-road deployment at military camps and forward positions, and low-cost motorized trailers for road-mobile regional deployment across multiple checkpoint locations. Fixed unit configuration is available for permanent checkpoint installations where the portability advantage is not required.
KEY FEATURES
Ultra-Low Dose — ANSI 43.17-2009 Occupant-Safe
The ultra-low radiation dose and full ANSI 43.17-2009 compliance confirm that the PVS-350 can scan vehicles with occupants inside — without the mandatory passenger evacuation required by higher-dose systems. This occupant-safe operation is the primary operational advantage for high-throughput checkpoint applications where passenger evacuation for each vehicle would multiply the inspection time per vehicle and create the significant queuing and delays that make the checkpoint operationally impractical for the traffic volumes involved.
Single Pass — Sub-Millimetre Resolution
A complete, detailed view of the entire vehicle interior in a single scan pass at sub-millimetre image resolution provides the definitive non-intrusive inspection result — the operator sees the complete vehicle interior in one image set without requiring multiple passes, repositioning, or secondary inspection. Sub-millimetre resolution enables detection of thin-walled hidden compartments, small firearms, and thin packages of contraband that would not be visible at standard industrial X-ray resolution levels.
Replaces 8-Hour Physical Search — Minutes Inspection
Physical vehicle searches including disassembly of panels, removal of seats, extraction of cargo, and subsequent vehicle rebuild can take up to 8 hours per vehicle — making comprehensive physical search impractical as a routine inspection method at any checkpoint with significant traffic volume. The PVS-350 provides an equivalent or superior inspection result in minutes — allowing all vehicles to be inspected rather than a small selected sample, directly increasing the detection probability for concealed threats across the full vehicle flow.
Single Operator Automatic Hydraulic Deployment
The integrated automatic hydraulic deployment system allows the complete system to be set up and operational by a single operator in 15 minutes — from the transport configuration on the trailer or vehicle to the fully deployed scanning portal. This single-operator deployment eliminates the team size requirement of manually deployed scanning systems and reduces the personnel overhead of checkpoint establishment at forward military positions, temporary event venues, and remote border locations where available personnel are limited.
15-Minute Deployment — Operational in Minutes
The 15-minute deployment time from arrival at the deployment location to fully operational scanning capability provides rapid establishment of vehicle inspection capability at new or temporary checkpoint positions — supporting the rapid response requirements of counter-terrorism operations, special events, and emergency checkpoint activation where the delay between decision and operational capability must be minimized.
Remote Laptop Control — Complete System Operation
The entire operation — system control, image viewing, image processing, and threat assessment — can be managed from a remote laptop at any position within the wireless control range. Remote operation allows the operator to maintain a safe distance from the scanning position, provides operational flexibility for sensitive scenarios, and allows the operator workstation to be positioned at the most effective vantage point for both system management and vehicle access control at the checkpoint.
Sub-Millimetre Resolution Software — Zoom, Pan & Material Highlight
The sophisticated, easy-to-use software provides zoom and pan for detailed examination of specific areas within the vehicle image, deep focus for precise detail at any depth within the vehicle structure, material highlighting for identification of specific density materials, and image processing tools for enhancement of low-contrast details. These tools allow the operator to make a rapid accurate assessment of any potential risk from the initial single-scan image without requiring a physical inspection to confirm the assessment.
Mobile Mounting — Multi-Terrain Vehicles & Trailers
Mounting capability on multi-terrain vehicles provides cross-country mobility for military forward position deployment at camps, forward operating bases, and field checkpoints where road-mobile trailer systems cannot reach. Low-cost motorized trailer mounting provides cost-effective regional deployment for customs and border enforcement operations where the system must cover multiple checkpoint locations across a geographic area. The combination of both mounting options provides maximum deployment flexibility across the full range of military, law enforcement, and customs application environments.
Static & Mobile Configurations — Maximum Flexibility
Both static fixed configuration for permanent checkpoint installation and mobile configuration for relocatable deployment are available from the same PVS-350 product — providing the full range of deployment permanence options without requiring different products for different installation scenarios. This configuration flexibility maximizes the operational value of the PVS-350 investment — the same system serves temporary event security deployments, semi-permanent checkpoint installations, and permanent fixed checkpoint roles.
Event & Venue Security — No Intrusive Hand Search
Event and venue security applications benefit from the PVS-350's ability to inspect vehicles entering and leaving the site without intrusive hand searches — security personnel can see what is being brought on and off site in a complete vehicle scan without the delay, personnel requirement, and visitor experience impact of physical vehicle searches. This non-intrusive vehicle inspection capability is particularly valuable at high-profile events where security must be thorough without creating the visual impression of excessive security measures that would affect the visitor experience.
Regional Spot Check Deployment
The mobile PVS-350 can be deployed across an entire region for random spot checks at multiple locations — the 15-minute deployment time allows the system to be positioned, operated, and relocated multiple times per day at different locations across a regional road network. This mobile regional deployment capability directly increases the deterrence value of vehicle inspection beyond what fixed checkpoint installations can achieve — the unpredictability of random regional deployment prevents smugglers and terrorists from routing around fixed inspection points.
