EOSL Demonstrates Cargo Security Technologies for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

EOSL demonstrated its cargo container security system at a recent event sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate. The projects - the Container Security Device (CSD) - was developed under contract to the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate. It was among projects featured and demonstrated in simulated and realistic supply chain scenarios at the Department's Cargo Conveyance Security Technology Demonstrations held August 17-28 at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, N.M.

Conatiner shipping is crucial to the global economy but poses distinct security challenges.
