Welcome to Smiths Detection

Smiths Detection provides government regulated technology products and advanced services to security experts and governments worldwide, to detect and identify CBRNE material and other dangerous or illegal objects. We diversify our technology portfolio to benefit other markets.

Smiths Detection offers advanced integrated security solutions based on trace detection equipment, X-ray screening systems and other proven and developing technologies. Our systems safeguard those in the front line and the public at large; protecting buildings and transport systems; screening everything from a ticket to a truck.

Our detection equipment is used by military forces and public service workers who need to be equipped for chemical agent detection and biological warfare agent identification; by staff responsible for airport security, transportation security and critical infrastructure  security; by customs officers responsible for contraband detection and cargo security (based on x-ray screening), and by the emergency services.

Smiths Detection is a world leader in transportation security, notably airport x-ray systems used in the search for illegal and dangerous items or for explosives detection in checked baggage, hand-baggage or on passengers themselves. Our specialist software supply business allows the management of large sensor and video surveillance networks.

Separate business units focus on related products for the life sciences, veterinary and food manufacturing industries.
