RTX’s BBN Technologies has been awarded a DARPA contract under its X-ray Extreme-range Non-imaging Analysis (XENA) program to develop kilometer-range X-ray imaging capabilities. This initiative aims to enhance situational awareness for service members by reconstructing hidden object geometries from a distance, providing critical insights when close access is not feasible. BBN will develop algorithms and software that use advanced mathematical modeling to interpret low-quality, long-range X-ray data to reveal detailed information about concealed objects and threats.
