> The approval covers Pangiam Threat Detection paired with SureScan’s DETECT 1000 CT baggage scanner. BigBear.ai shares were down 5.10% at 2:05 p.m. ET Nov. 10.

BigBear.ai announced Nov. 10 that its Pangiam Threat Detection software, paired with SureScan Corporation’s DETECT 1000 CT baggage scanner, received European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) certification. The approval applies to that specific software-and-scanner configuration, which meets ECAC and European Union Automated Prohibited Items Detection System (APIDS) Standard 1.

Pangiam processes three-dimensional CT images of cabin baggage and flags potential prohibited items for security officers and supervisors to review. The certification covers the Pangiam and DETECT 1000 combination; it does not establish approval for Pangiam on other scanner models.

ECAC’s security policy has been adopted by all 44 member states. Aviation security authorities use ECAC’s approved-systems list as a common reference when evaluating airport equipment.

BigBear.ai shares were down 5.10% at $2.33 at 2:05 p.m. ET (19:05 UTC) Nov. 10. The stock opened at $2.38 and traded between $2.23 and $2.41 during the session. Its previous close was $2.45.

The ECAC approval follows a Dutch national approval for the same configuration that BigBear.ai announced in July. That approval followed testing by TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research. BigBear.ai CEO Kevin McAleenan said, “Since July, Pangiam Threat Detection has cleared both a national and a Europe-wide benchmark.” The company plans further testing with certification bodies and equipment manufacturers.

BigBear.ai did not provide a contract value or revenue estimate tied to the certification. The company reported $43.6 million in third-quarter revenue and raised its 2026 revenue outlook to $150 million to $165 million on Oct. 27. That outlook does not break out any contribution from the certified configuration.
