Analogic Corporation, a global leader in imaging and detection technologies, has entered a strategic partnership with Analytical AI, a pioneer in machine learning for security threat detection. The collaboration aims to co-develop AI-based enhanced detection capabilities for Analogic’s advanced CT aviation security systems, promising faster, more accurate threat recognition and a smoother airport experience for travelers worldwide.

Accelerating AI-Powered Security Innovation

Under the agreement, Analytical AI will work exclusively with Analogic to create CT-based detection algorithms tailored for Analogic’s ConneCT and SeleCT CT systems. These algorithms will focus on identifying explosives, prohibited items, and contraband—key concerns in the evolving threat landscape of global aviation.

The partnership builds on a shared mission: to strengthen aviation security while improving operational efficiency and passenger flow. By integrating AI-driven Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) directly into Analogic’s CT scanners, airports can achieve faster throughput, fewer false alarms, and reduced need for manual inspection.

“The partnership with Analytical AI will accelerate our plans to deliver new, effective, and efficient detection solutions to our rapidly growing worldwide customer base,” said Tom Ripp, President and CEO of Analogic Corporation. “Our CT systems already leverage Open Architecture and AI-based detection, and this partnership will help us deliver improved detection performance with greatly reduced false alarms.”

Deepening a Proven Collaboration

The two companies aren’t strangers to innovation together. Analogic and Analytical AI have previously collaborated on several research and development initiatives, laying the groundwork for this long-term agreement. Their established familiarity with each other’s technology and workflows will significantly reduce product development time—an important advantage in a market that demands rapid adaptation to emerging threats.

“Analytical AI has worked with Analogic for a few years, so this agreement was a natural extension of our relationship,” said Mark Froehlich, Co-founder and CEO of Analytical AI. “Our mission is aligned—to provide the highest level of security while enhancing passenger experience and checkpoint throughput. We’re proud to deliver best-in-class Automated Threat Recognition algorithms for best-in-class CT machines.”

Building Smarter, Safer Checkpoints

As global travel rebounds, airport security faces the challenge of balancing safety with efficiency. Traditional checkpoint processes—manual scans, secondary checks, and slow throughput—are no longer sustainable at scale. AI-powered detection offers a path forward by enabling automated decision-making, real-time adaptation, and continuous learning from new threat data.

The partnership combines Analogic’s decades of expertise in computed tomography (CT) imaging with Analytical AI’s specialization in machine learning and pattern recognition. Together, they aim to set a new industry benchmark for intelligent security screening that keeps pace with both passenger expectations and regulatory demands.

Shaping the Future of Aviation Security

Beyond technology, this collaboration reflects a larger industry shift toward open, AI-enabled architectures—systems that can evolve quickly through software updates and data-driven learning rather than hardware overhauls.

For airports and governments, the benefits are twofold: higher security performance and lower operational disruption. For passengers, it means faster screening and a more seamless travel experience.

With this partnership, Analogic and Analytical AI are positioning themselves at the forefront of the next generation of aviation security, where AI doesn’t just assist—it ensures safety at the speed of travel.
