The Safran group
Safran is an international high-technology
group operating in the Aerospace (propulsion
and equipment), Defense and Security
markets.
Through this global presence Safran not
only enhances its competitiveness, but
also builds industrial and commercial
relations with the world’s leading prime
contractors and operators, and provides
fast, local services to customers around
the world.
Sagem Sécurité (Safran group) is the world
leader in digital fingerprint biometrics and
a leading player in multibiometric technologies,
smartcards, secure transactions and ID
management solutions. Integrated systems
and equipment by Sagem Sécurité are used
worldwide to ensure transport safety, protect

Morpho Detection is a leading supplier
of explosives and narcotics detection systems
for government, military, air and
ground transportation, first responder,
critical infrastructure and other high-risk
organizations. It was formed in 2009 following
SAFRAN Group’s acquisition of GE
Security’s Homeland Protection business.
Automatic Border Control Solutions
The border control of persons, goods and vehicles is a key element
in the life of a country. Sagem Sécurité has leaded a thorough
reflexion, long before September 11th, on the way that technology
could improve and facilitate border crossing procedures. With the
increase in traveller throughputs and security concerns, the need
for new border control processes has been deemed necessary. To
meet the requirements of these new challenges, Sagem Sécurité has
developed a wide range of automated or semi-automated products
and solutions.
The MorphoWay™ Series of automated e-gates —for the control
of travellers entering or leaving a territory— contributes to the
reconciliation of two a priori contradictory objectives: security and
facilitation.
Based on fingerprint or face recognition, the Sagem Sécurité
MorphoWay are modular solutions. They are easy to integrate in the
existing airport control and security systems.
By speeding up border control operations, it also offers an
effective answer to the current increase in passenger volumes.
Amongst various solutions, MorphoWay On The Fly, based on the
latest 3D facial recognition technology, is a low footprint system that
greatly contributes to reduce line-ups at borders.
Detection
Morpho Detection’s product offering includes some of the most
recognizable, integrated and user-friendly homeland security
solutions available today, including:
The CTX™ family of automated explosives detection solutions (EDS)
for checked baggage screening in airport environments. It is built on
advanced Computed Tomography (CT) technology and certified by
the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
The “Trace” family of products is built on Morpho Detection’s
patented Ion Trap Mobility Spectrometer technology (ITMS™). This
highly sensitive detection technology has established itself as a
leading tool in the global fight against explosives and narcotics.
The XRD family of products includes explosives and narcotics
systems built on proven and highly selective X-ray Diffraction
technology (XRD).
The StreetLab® family of products, based on Raman Spectroscopy
technology, offers industry-leading handheld and desktop unknown
substance identification.
The HRX™ line of X-ray scanners offers cost effective solutions
ideal for screening requirements of airports, government offices and
other business applications.
SMARTGATE is the first operational project
to use face biometric data stored in epassports.
Smartgate implements a fast
track system based on face recognition
and compliant with ICAO requirements.
Currently five international airports are in
full operation in Australia : Brisbane, Cairns,
Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth, and one in
New Zealand : Auckland.
IRIS. In April 2004, Sagem Sécurité signed
a contract with the British Home Office, Immigration
and Nationality Directorate (IND),
for the supply of an iris-based immigration
system. The project has been opened
to operational public service in mid June
2005, with channels running in Heathrow,
Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester
Terminals. IRIS is one of the first projects
in the world to use iris technology on such
a large scale.
PARAFES is an Automated Border Control
system based on fingerprint recognition
in the main French international airports.
It is a joint project of the French Home
Office and the French international Airports.
All European travellers holding a secondgeneration
e-passport will be able to use
this system. For the non-holders, a preregistration
has to take place.
PARAFES is equipped with fake finger detection
capacity and uniqueness detection.
16 e-gates have been operational since late
2009 in Roissy and Orly Airports.
