X-ray vision with Sandia’s XTK software

Sandia Robotic and Security Systems manager Jake Deuel shows components of the patented Grid-Aim system, an optional hardware accessory kit for X-Ray Toolkit (XTK) that lets users quickly and precisely disable the internal components of an IED with minimal damage to surrounding property and infrastructure, preserving the rest of the device for evidence.

 

XTK is an image-processing and analysis software developed at Sandia that has swept the ranks of the country’s bomb squads, military, and emergency response communities, and is now in the hands of more than 20,000 users across the globe. It also was adopted by the FBI’s Hazardous Devices School, which certifies the 467 recognized state and local bomb squads in the U.S., as its benchmark for all courses.
