Overview

Program-Ace built a web-based X-ray simulation platform for a major UK customs and security company, so security screeners practice threat detection on realistic, multi-system X-ray scans, improving readiness and meeting European training regulations.

The challenge

The client needed to improve screener training across airport networks while reducing security incidents, and to meet European regulatory standards. Physical training props were costly, and threat-detection preparation needed to be realistic, measurable, and consistent.

The solution

Program-Ace built a realistic, multi-system X-ray training simulator on the web.

Realistic multi-view X-ray simulation compatible with Smiths-Heimann, Rapiscan, L3, and more.
A comprehensive threat-image library.
Customizable, role-specific training scenarios.
Real-time performance tracking and analytics.
Support for seven languages and networked deployment.
Technology and approach

How we built it

Built in Unity and ported to the web with WebGL, HTML5, and JavaScript, the platform reproduces the X-ray views of multiple scanner makes, draws on a threat-image library, and tracks screener performance, so training is realistic and measurable without physical props, in seven languages.
