Company Profile

In November 2002, OSI Systems, Inc acquired Ancore Corporation. Ancore Corporation develops inspection technologies to government and commercial customers in the fields of aviation security, border inspection, counter-terrorism, manifest verification, force protection and humanitarian de-mining. Ancore Corporation’s PFNA technology is the only automated non-intrusive, material-sensitive technology in existence for the inspection of full-size shipping containers, trucks, air-cargo and other containerized cargo. Contraband, such as explosives, drugs and chemically hazardous materials, do not have a shape or other particular external features that distinguish them from other benign cargo materials in which they may be hidden. They have, however, a distinctive chemical composition, which is directly detected by the Ancore Cargo Inspector (ACI) series of products. Unique to the PFNA technology is its ability to acquire and display this information in three dimensions. No other technique, including high energy x-ray, comes close to this performance
