Test operations for the world's first walk-through security scanner for passengers have been underway at Frankfurt Airport since September. This is intended to ensure faster processes and more comfort at the security check . The R&S QPS Walk2000 from Rohde & Schwarz is currently being used in Area A of Terminal 1 . The test phase is scheduled for 6 months.
Passengers can pass through the 360° passage scanner at normal speed without stopping. The millimeter wave technology used also penetrates clothing to a large extent, making it unnecessary to take off jackets. AI-based software automatically recognizes not only metallic but also non-metallic objects. Potential danger areas are displayed precisely and in real time on a gender-neutral avatar. As a result, follow-up inspections are rarely necessary. If they are necessary, they can be applied specifically to the alarm area instead of completely scanning the passenger.
