The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is testing a cargo scanning system so powerful and accurate that it can find hidden nuclear weapons -- or distinguish regular soft drinks from diet soft drinks. For the first time ever, they may be able to positively identify all the contents of any shipping container -- in under a half a minute -- without ever needing to open it. They also are testing a camera system that’s so precise it can identify individual blades of grass from 100 meters away. These prototypes are just some of the innovative technologies in development with the help of the Massport Transportation Security Center of Excellence -- a security technology test-bed and fast-prototype effort to find, prove and quickly bring to market promising new security technologies. In this session, learn more about the center, the technologies it's exploring, and get ideas on how your organization can develop partnerships with government and business to drive security innovation.
