Why this matters

Non-intrusive inspection technology is critical to CBP's ability to screen cargo and vehicles at ports of entry while maintaining throughput.

Supply-chain signal

Ongoing demand for advanced inspection equipment and maintenance services from specialized defense/security contractors supporting border infrastructure.

U.S.–China competition angle
