Videray

What Videray does

Videray Technologies, Inc. is a Boston-based developer of portable handheld X-ray imaging systems used by government security, law enforcement, customs, and correctional agencies worldwide. Founded in 2018 by a group of engineers and led by CEO Paul Bradshaw, the company designs and manufactures devices that allow operators to detect concealed threats, contraband, drugs, weapons, and material defects without disassembly or physical damage to the inspected object. Its products are deployed across at least ten countries, with documented operational use by the Mexican Army, Chilean Gendarmerie, Norwegian Customs, Honduran and Salvadoran customs agencies, U.S. law enforcement, and Thai authorities.

The company's product portfolio centers on four hardware platforms. The PX1 is a 140 keV handheld backscatter X-ray imager with up to six hours of battery life. The PX Ultra is the industry's first 160 keV handheld backscatter device, capable of penetrating 13mm of steel. The PXT is the world's first handheld transmission X-ray imager, capable of penetrating over 40mm of steel. The MTP+ is a modular transmission panel that pairs with PX1 to deliver dual backscatter-plus-transmission imaging in a 16mm-thick carbon-fiber form factor. All products run on the APX advanced electronics platform introduced in 2025, which adds a 2500-nit sunlight-readable touchscreen, integrated 5G modem, dual USB-C ports, the proprietary Infinity Detector, and machine learning–based real-time image enhancement. Devices support OTA software updates, multi-language UI (English and Spanish), and ruggedized operation from -4°F to 140°F at altitudes up to 14,746 feet.

Videray operates a direct enterprise hardware sales model with no public pricing; all transactions are quote-based. The go-to-market relies on regional sales directors covering the USA, EU/Oceania, and Middle East/Africa, supplemented by channel partnerships (Todd Research in the UK, Groupe Physitek–Fondis Electronic in France/EMEA) and consistent presence at major industry trade shows including Milipol Paris, IACP, International Security Expo, NASDEA, and CNOA. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware unit sales (PX1, PX Ultra, PXT, MTP+) plus accessories and ongoing software/support services. Tek84 Inc. holds a strategic equity stake and board seat acquired in December 2021. The company also addresses adjacent verticals including non-destructive testing (NDT) for aerospace/automotive inspection, technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM), and sports integrity/anti-doping (UCI/ITA).

Core offering

Videray develops and manufactures portable handheld backscatter and transmission X-ray imaging systems for non-intrusive inspection (NIIS). Its product line — PX1, PX Ultra, PXT, and the MTP+ modular transmission panel — enables security, law enforcement, customs, correctional, and industrial operators to see through surfaces and detect concealed weapons, narcotics, contraband, and material defects without disassembly. All current devices are powered by the proprietary APX advanced electronics platform, which integrates high-brightness touchscreens, dual USB-C, 5G connectivity, and machine-learning-based image enhancement.

Product overview

Videray offers a portfolio of handheld X-ray imaging products for security, law enforcement, and non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. The core lineup includes the PX1 (backscatter X-ray imager with 140 keV), PX Ultra (first 160 keV handheld with 13mm steel penetration), PXT (first handheld transmission X-ray with 40mm+ steel penetration), and MTP+ (modular transmission panel that combines with PX1 for dual-mode imaging). The APX platform serves as an advanced electronics foundation across all devices, providing enhanced processing, 5G connectivity, and machine learning-powered image enhancement.

Broad incumbents

• L3Harris Technologies (Security & Detection Systems): L3Harris offers a broad portfolio of security and detection products including X-ray screening for aviation, military, and critical infrastructure. While focused on larger inspection systems, L3Harris competes with Videray for defense and customs inspection RFPs globally.
• Nuctech Company: Nuctech is a global incumbent in security inspection technology, producing fixed and mobile X-ray scanning systems for customs, airports, and border control. While focused on larger-scale systems, Nuctech's portfolio overlaps with Videray in the customs and contraband inspection use case.
• Smiths Detection: Smiths Detection is a major global provider of X-ray, CT, and trace detection systems for aviation, customs, and critical infrastructure security. Its broad portfolio overlaps with Videray's border/customs and security applications, though its products are predominantly larger fixed and portal systems.
• Astrophysics Inc. Astrophysics Inc. designs and manufactures X-ray inspection systems for cargo, vehicles, and containers used at ports, borders, and high-security facilities. It serves similar end-customers (customs, military) but with stationary gantry-style systems rather than portable handheld units.
• Rapiscan Systems (OSI Systems): Rapiscan Systems, a division of OSI Systems, manufactures cargo and vehicle X-ray inspection systems used by customs, militaries, and security agencies globally. Like Smiths Detection, it competes with Videray for security and customs inspection budgets but at a larger system scale.
• Teledyne FLIR Defense: Teledyne FLIR provides advanced sensing and detection technologies for defense, security, and industrial inspection, including thermal imaging and CBRN detection. While not a direct handheld X-ray competitor, FLIR competes with Videray for tactical security and military procurement dollars.

Emerging players

• Autoclear (formerly Control Screening / Garrett): Autoclear produces security screening products including portable X-ray inspection equipment and metal detection for law enforcement and corrections. Its handheld X-ray offerings overlap with Videray's PX1 / PX Ultra in the corrections and security verticals.

Others

• Leidos: Leidos is a large defense and security services integrator that provides screening, detection, and security solutions to government agencies globally. As a systems integrator, Leidos influences procurement decisions in the same customer base that Videray sells into, making it a relevant ecosystem peer.

Direct peers

• Viken Detection (formerly OD Security): Viken Detection offers handheld X-ray imaging systems (including the ODF series) for EOD, security, and NDT applications, directly competing with Videray in the portable backscatter/transmission X-ray segment. Both companies target law enforcement and government security buyers with similar product form factors.
• Tek84 Inc. Tek84 manufactures portable and relocatable X-ray imaging systems for security inspection, directly competing with Videray's PX1, PX Ultra, and PXT in the law enforcement, customs, and correctional markets. Tek84 is also Videray's strategic shareholder with a board seat since December 2021.
