Universal Detection Technology
(www.udetection.com) (OTCBB: UNDT), a provider of early detection
technologies for the Homeland Security market, reported today that
it has entered into an agreement with Tamar Security Technologies
Limited, whereby it now offers advanced explosives and improvised
explosive device (IED) simulants to the US Security Market. This
move is part of the Company's dedication to being a complete CBRNE
security firm.
The IED threat has garnered recent attention with the news that
Al-Qaeda had actually been able to smuggle explosives onto
aircrafts in printer cartridges. UNDT's new IED simulants can be
used to train guards on how to spot components of explosives such
as detonators.
These highly advanced explosive simulants are specifically for
training purposes. They closely simulate the actual explosives,
accessories and related items, providing an efficient and realistic
training program. The various items allow trainees to get a feel
for the actual items, and also to train in detection via hand
search and a variety of other detection techniques. The simulants
comprise precise reproductions of a variety of explosive materials
in form, color, texture and weight.
Tamar (www.tamar-explosives.com) is a certified service provider
for the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Its team of experts also
carries out research, laboratory trials, data collection and
database development for some of the world's leading firms and
security agencies.
In addition, Tamar Security has developed various accessories
with the aim of further enhancing training effectiveness. These
include close reproductions of items that are utilized in
conjunction with explosives, such as a variety of detonators and
detonation cords, as well as pipe bombs, suicide bomber belts and
hand grenades. Tamar has also developed a wide variety of simulated
IEDs. The IEDs cover various disciplines and training purposes
(aviation security training, detection of letter and parcel bombs,
etc.).
"We believe that Guards are not sufficiently trained in many
cases to detect such types of IEDs. In fact, GAO investigators were
able to penetrate Federal Buildings with components which could
have been put together to create explosives. We believe that this
can be a tool to help those we have charged with our safety. This
is a training tool to combat one of the most lethal weapons in a
terrorists' arsenal: the IED," said Jacques Tizabi, CEO of
Universal Detection Technology.
