WILMINGTON, Mass., Aug. 9, 2024
/CNW/ - Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty" or the
"Company") (TSXV: SCAN) (OTCQB: LDDFF) (FRANKFURT:
LD2A), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation
detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, is pleased
to announce that its HEXWAVE system were installed and put into
operation at Rochester and
Manchester Airports to screen aviation workers as part of the new
TSA Mandate on Employee Screening. Units have also been installed
at Toronto's Pearson International
Airport.
In April 2023, a mandate was
issued requiring U.S. airports to adopt physical screening
procedures for employees with access to secure-side areas of the
airport. The mandate was further reinforced by a U.S. Court
of Appeals decision denying airports the ability to delay the
screening process. To implement screening for aviation
workers, airports will need technologies that provide a broad range
of threat detection that can meet the current screening
requirements and those mandated for the future.
In addition, the Company has shipped initial units to support
the order from Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to
screen staff and visitors that will enter correctional
facilities.
HEXWAVE uses millimeter wave, advanced 3D imaging and AI to
detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats and other
prohibited items. The system allows for rapid, automated
screening using a high-throughput, contactless, walkthrough portal
to detect liquid, powder and plastic explosives, 3D printed ghost
guns and other contraband that enhanced metal detectors on the
market do not detect.
