Smarter Screening Starts from the Ground Up

The Footwear Screening Platform (FSP) is a next-generation security system that detects concealed threats in shoes—without requiring passengers to remove them. It’s fast, precise, and built for high-volume environments.

How It Works

Step Onto the Platform

Passengers simply walk onto the scanner, no need to pause or remove shoes.

Millimeter Wave Imaging

The system emits ultra-safe millimeter waves that pass through footwear materials to create a detailed internal image.

AI-Powered Threat Detection

Arion’s proprietary algorithms analyze the data in real-time, detecting hidden threats that traditional metal detectors miss—including plastics, powders, and 3D-printed objects.

Built for High-Traffic Environments

FSP is designed for use in complex, high-volume environments where throughput, accuracy, and efficiency are critical.

Common deployment locations include:

International Airports
Mass Transit Hubs
Border Crossings
Critical Infrastructure Facilities
Corporate Campuses
Government Buildings

Advanced, Adaptable Security Screening Platform Built for Modern Threat Environments

Based upon original prototype designs by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and adapted for use in airports, the FSP's adaptability, system interoperability, and proven detection capability make it ideal for deployment across all critical infrastructure where high-throughput, low-friction screening is essential.

What Makes the 
FSP Superior?

EMERGING THREAT-READY

Unlike legacy scanners, the FSP also detects 3D-printed and non-metallic weapons

SAFE, AUTOMATED DETECTION

Reduces staffing needs; detection powered by proprietary millimeter wave and AI-enhanced image analysis

NON-INVASIVE & HIGH FIDELITY

3D-rendered images isolate anomalies within footwear without revealing anatomical foot detail

NO FOOTWEAR REMOVAL REQUIRED

Critical in high-traffic, high-security facilities seeking to improve flow
