BigBear.ai's Pangiam Threat Detection Receives Europe-Wide ECAC Certification for Airport Security Screening

BigBear.ai announced that Pangiam Threat Detection received European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) certification for automated prohibited items detection in airport cabin baggage screening.
The certification confirms the system meets ECAC/EU Automated Prohibited Items Detection System (APIDS) Standard 1 performance requirements when configured with SureScan Corporation's DETECT 1000 CT screening system.
This ECAC certification extends the Dutch national approval BigBear.ai secured in July 2026 to cover all 44 ECAC member states.
Pangiam Threat Detection is one of only two third-party software solutions on ECAC's APIDS list, the other being systems developed by screening equipment manufacturers.
The certification serves as a common reference for aviation security authorities across ECAC member states when approving screening equipment for their airports.
Pangiam Threat Detection analyzes 3D CT scans of cabin baggage in near real time to flag potential prohibited items for security officers.
The system has undergone extensive trials, including a 24/7 enterprise-level deployment at a major European airport.
The certification builds on BigBear.ai's integration of Pangiam Threat Detection with modern CT screening infrastructure to support increasingly automated security operations.
