Border Cargo, Trade and Domain Risk Targeting Models
Machine learning models that score cargo shipments, trade entities, radiation portal monitor readings and air and maritime activity to prioritise inspection.
Customs and border agencies run models inside targeting and screening systems that flag shipments, trade entities, radiation portal monitor alarms or air and maritime tracks for further inspection. The federal inventory entries recorded here describe in-house and contractor-built models whose outputs appear as alerts, risk assessments or rule hits for officers. Models that score individual travellers are recorded under individual risk scoring instead, and AI analysis of X-ray and other inspection images under AI X-ray cargo inspection.
