Recently, the Civil Aviation Administration officially issued and implemented the world's first technical standards for the identification, acceptance, and testing procedures of CT explosive detection systems in air cargo containers. These devices have now been formally included in China's civil aviation security equipment usage permission list and management system. This move not only effectively fills a global gap in the aviation industry for the security inspection of large cargo containers but also significantly enhances China's leadership and influence in the development of international civil aviation security.

The container CT explosive detection system is a new technology independently developed in China, marking the first time CT technology has been applied to the security inspection of large air cargo containers in the global aviation security field. After more than two years of research, trials, and validation, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has successfully promoted the introduction of these technical standards, signifying that China's management of civil aviation security equipment has evolved into a scientifically rigorous, independent, and internationally leading system.

Compared to traditional two-dimensional X-ray equipment, the container CT explosive detection system has significant advantages. Firstly, this system can inspect entire air cargo containers in one go, eliminating the need to dismantle the cargo into individual packages for separate screening. This method greatly improves the efficiency of cargo security checks while also reducing the costs of air logistics. Secondly, CT technology provides three-dimensional imaging and enables automatic detection of explosives, offering clear advantages in terms of security performance.

Currently, this type of security system is undergoing continuous field trials at Shenzhen Airport, effectively addressing the issue of resource constraints in the airport's cargo storage area and meeting the needs for rapid security checks of entire containers. The system has gained recognition from security agencies, ground services, and freight agents, and has attracted sustained attention from the International Civil Aviation Organization and countries such as the USA and the UAE.

Next, the Civil Aviation Administration will continue to monitor and guide the trial operations at Shenzhen Airport, study the equipment’s accompanying user manuals, and accelerate the innovation of cargo security inspection processes. This effort aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of air cargo transportation, providing strong support for the development of the national logistics industry.
