, BARRW) today announced that it had recently received a number of development awards, totaling approximately $200,000.

Barringer Instruments Inc. was awarded a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), component of the U.S. Department of Transportation that sets standards for the air-worthiness of all civilian aircraft, inspects and licenses them, and regulates civilian and military air traffic through its air traffic control  to develop a passenger screening system that could be deployed at airports to enhance security. Kenneth Wood, President of Barringer Instruments, said that the program will "assess an innovative way to screen passengers for explosives devices before they are allowed onto an aircraft." The passenger screening system will be based upon Barringer's IONSCAN explosives detector which is presently deployed at the Channel Tunnel providing rapid high sensitivity screening. Wood also noted that this grant comes at a time when security at major U.S. airports has been raised to higher alert levels.

Barringer Europe, S.A.R.L. received from French Rail (SNCF SNCF Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (French National Railways)
SNCF Sans Nous les Cafés Ferment (French) 
), the first phase of a multi-part contract for the development of a mobile explosives detection system for use on European rail systems serving the Channel Tunnel. This contract was awarded after initial evaluations of a prototype system were successfully completed. The concept of active explosives detection efforts being made while the trainsets are in motion could be adopted by other European Rail Networks based upon successful development of these systems.

The British Defence Research Agency has awarded Barringer Research Ltd. a contract to develop a special chemical stimulant for explosives detection equipment verification. This will permit operators of chemical explosives detection systems to easily determine that their equipment is operating at its optimum performance levels.

Barringer Instruments also received a proof-of-principal contract from The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Noun 1. Naval Research Laboratory - the United States Navy's defense laboratory that conducts basic and applied research for the Navy in a variety of scientific and technical disciplines
