Under vehicle inspection

Under vehicle inspection systems are known by the acronyms: The terms UVSS and CUVSS were trademarks of the Chemring Group until the rebranding of the Home Office project in 2011.

UVIS providers have also developed a variety of security add-ons such as external scene cameras to help personnel better detect, deter and communicate potential threats.

Many systems also feature network integration, allowing the facility to access and use data from perimeter choke points for broader applications such as resource planning.

While handheld mirrors are among the least expensive and oldest technologies, they have limited applications and place security personnel in close proximity to potential danger.

More importantly, most mirrors provide a limited view of the undercarriage, failing to show screeners key areas toward the middle of the vehicle.
