The nonintrusive control method consists in using a tugging device attached to the aircraft's landing gear which is towing the aircraft over a detector line, detector line fixed onto the runway under a penetrating radiation source held by a telescopic boom fixed on a mobile scanning unit. The aircraft is towed with constant speed and electronically controlled in a secured and delimited perimeter. The system consists of a mobile scanning unit (MSU), controlled remotely by a towable mobile control center positioned outside an exclusion area. The MSU consists of a telescopic boom holding on its extremity a penetrating radiation source and a detector line fixed onto the runway and a tugging device, which attaches to the aircraft's undercarriage.
