tomography (CT) explosives detection technologies, Morpho’s comprehensive,
cost-effective and competitively priced cargo solutions can screen small,
medium, large and pallet-size parcels and containers for explosives, narcotics
and additional threats and contraband.
 Benefits
• Meet government mandates
• Assure operational continuity
• Detect and identify threats
• Minimize operational costs
• Safeguard brand image

 COMPLIANCE
Meet industry and government regulations with equipment tested to TSA’s highest “Qualified” standard
Morpho Detection’s explosives trace detection (ETD) devices, explosives detection systems (EDS) and X-ray
scanners have achieved Qualified Technology status on the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Air
Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL) – the highest attainable tier for screening equipment.
Equipment in the Qualified Technology section of the ACSTL has completed stringent TSA testing to achieve
screening qualification. Per ACSTL Version 8.9, “the qualified technology section specifies equipment, by technology,
which has undergone a formal TSA sponsored test process and is deemed qualified for screening operations.”
Conversely, equipment in the ACSTL’s
Approved Technology section has
received only conditional approval.
ACSTL Version 8.9 states that “the
approved technology section specifies
equipment, by technology, which
has been conditionally approved for
screening operations and is currently
undergoing or scheduled for field test
activities. This equipment has up to 36
months from the date when it was added
to the approved technology section to
successfully pass TSA’s suitability-based
field test activities. If it is unable to pass field test activities within the prescribed 36 months, it will be removed
from the approved technology section on the specified expiration date.” For this reason, the TSA cautions
regulated parties considering purchasing screening equipment that has only approved technology status.
Morpho Detection offers a suite of TSA-qualified screening systems — the highest attainable rating on TSA’s Air
Cargo Screening Technology List.
“When procuring equipment from the
ACSTL, regulated parties are encouraged
to select equipment from the qualified
technology section. Regulated parties who
procure equipment from the approved
technology section do so at their own risk.”

COST EFFICIENCY
Because protecting margins is critical to the
continued success of any business, Morpho air cargo
security solutions balance operational needs with
capital expenditures and total cost of ownership.
Aside from flexible procurement options, Morpho
continuously strives to develop cost-saving product
improvements which reduce carriers’ operating costs.
To help carriers stay competitive, Morpho has
reduced total cost of ownership for trace detectors
up to 15 percent over the past five years.
OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY
As the air cargo industry is an essential component
of numerous and interrelated domestic and
international logistics networks, it is crucial that
shippers, forwarders, integrators and carriers
manage their operations by the clock. Recognizing
the impact of integrating security processes into the
flow of operations, Morpho subject matter experts
assist customers with site audits and develop
concepts of operations cognizant of operational
throughput with air cargo screening solutions that
meet individual customers’ needs.
DETECTION OF ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES
Inadvertent shipment of illicit drugs, hazardous
material and other contraband can put an air
cargo carrier at risk for financial penalties, delays
of shipment and even the confiscation of aircraft.
Morpho offers a suite of advanced screening
technologies to help mitigate the risk of illegal
shipments that can jeopardize a business’ financial
stability or reputation.
EMPLOYEE AND ASSET PROTECTION
Securing air cargo through security technology protects
a business’ own people and assets. The detection
of lethal or illegal threats provides an organization’s
employees with the ability to take appropriate measures
to operate in a safer environment.
BRAND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT
Proactively securing the cargo supply chain not only
achieves the goal of aviation security compliancy,
but also helps protect an organization’s brand and
reputation from being associated with negative
media coverage of catastrophes caused by terrorism
or being perceived as taking a passive approach to
stem the flow of illegal drug trafficking. Maintaining
customer confidence is vital to a company’s brand
and hence its business.
