BigBear.ai and Analogic partner to improve airport threat detection with AI integration
MCLEAN, Va. - BigBear.ai and Analogic announced their partnership to integrate artificial intelligence (AI)-based threat detection with advanced checkpoint security technology, aiming to enhance airport screening operations worldwide.
The collaboration merges BigBear.ai’s Pangiam threat detection and decision support platform with Analogic’s ConneCT computed tomography (CT) scanner. The goal is to deliver real-time, AI-driven threat detection insights that help security teams better identify potential threats while improving passenger flow and reducing operational costs.
BigBear.ai, headquartered in McLean, Virginia, provides AI-powered decision intelligence tools to sectors including national security, defense, and transportation. Analogic, based in Peabody, Massachusetts, develops CT-based security screening systems used worldwide in airports.

"BigBear.ai looks forward to joining forces with Analogic to elevate security standards and enhance traveler experiences across critical transportation hubs around the globe," said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. "As security threats evolve, adopting open architecture solutions is crucial to accelerate the deployment of advanced screening technologies and giving customers the freedom to choose the best tools for their missions."
"Analogic is proud to collaborate with BigBear.ai to offer our customers greater flexibility and choice when designing world-class security systems," said Tom Ripp, CEO of Analogic.
The open architecture of the Pangiam platform enables integration with various hardware, software, and algorithms, allowing airports to adapt their systems as threats and technologies evolve. Analogic’s ConneCT system is already in use globally and is qualified by both the U.S. Transportation Security Administration and the European Civil Aviation Conference.
