MBX BACKSCATTER VAN
The uniXVAN MBX is a rapidly deployable mobile X-ray backscatter system designed to inspect passenger vehicles, vans, trucks, cargo and other large objects wherever screening capability is required.
Using backscatter technology to reveal concealed materials and anomalies, the MBX brings vehicle inspection beyond fixed checkpoints and permanent screening infrastructure - supporting border and customs operations, law enforcement, defence and critical infrastructure protection.
Its mobile architecture enables screening operations to relocate as routes, threats and operational priorities change, providing authorities with a flexible inspection capability for both planned and temporary deployments.

THE MBX IN ACTION!
HIGH PERFORMANCE X-RAY BACKSCATTER
At the core of the uniXVAN MBX is a 300 kV X-ray backscatter source, providing high-energy performance in a fully mobile screening platform.
The system combines steel penetration of up to 14 mm with high sensitivity to low-density and organic materials, supporting the detection of narcotics, explosives, currency, tobacco and other concealed contraband.
Compared with conventional 225 kV backscatter systems, the higher-energy architecture provides greater penetration and increased operational flexibility across a wider range of vehicle and cargo inspection scenarios.
open-architecture scanning
Unlike tunnel-based inspection systems, the uniXVAN MBX uses an open scanning geometry, allowing operators to inspect passenger vehicles, vans, trucks, pallets, containers and oversized objects without the dimensional constraints of a fixed inspection tunnel.
Backscatter imaging provides high-contrast visualization of low-density and organic materials concealed within vehicles, cargo and structural areas.
With scanning possible at distances as close as 1.1 metres, the MBX can also operate effectively in space-constrained environments.
FLEXIBLE HIGH-THROUGHPUT INSPECTION
The uniXVAN MBX combines high-performance X-ray inspection with operational flexibility, supporting stationary, mobile and hybrid scanning modes to adapt to different checkpoint and field operations.
With throughput of up to 400 vehicles per hour, the MBX enables efficient inspection even in high-volume environments. Its low-dose scanning concept allows vehicle occupants to remain inside during applicable screening operations, supporting faster workflows while meeting relevant radiation safety requirements.
SELF-CONTAINED MOBILE INSPECTION PLATFORM
The uniXVAN MBX is engineered for continuous operation in demanding environments, combining integrated power generation, redundant climate control and ruggedized system components within a self-contained mobile platform. Designed for operation from -30°C to +55°C, the MBX can be deployed with minimal dependence on local infrastructure.
Modern software architecture, AI-assisted image analysis, secure remote connectivity and integration interfaces enable the MBX to operate as part of wider command-and-control, border management and security ecosystems.
The result is a mobile inspection capability combining rapid deployment, high throughput and advanced X-ray imaging in one platform - ready to support changing routes, temporary checkpoints, remote locations and evolving operational priorities.
Configure the MBX around your operational environment, CONOPS and screening requirements.
