Toronto Pearson International Airport will be the
first airport in Canada to test
HEXWAVE system
WILMINGTON, Mass. and TORONTO, Nov. 1, 2022
/CNW/ - Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty" or the
"Company") (TSXV: SCAN) (OTCQB: LDDFF) (FRANKFURT: LD2A), a leading technology
provider of detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats,
is pleased to announce that beta testing with the Greater Toronto
Airports Authority (GTAA) at the Toronto Pearson International
Airport (Pearson) has commenced November 1,
2022, and will continue for a period of two weeks.
Toronto Pearson is located in Mississauga, west of Toronto, in Ontario,
Canada. It is Canada's
largest airport, the sixth-most-connected airport in the world, and
the second-most-connected airport in North America.
Toronto Pearson will be the first airport in Canada to trial the HEXWAVE™ walkthrough
security detection portal. The airport plans to operate the trial
in multiple areas of the airport by conducting voluntary screening
in an employee area and a location at the permitter of the airport,
including an entrance from the terminal parking garage. Liberty
Defense will use the beta site as an opportunity to further test
and train the system to continue improving HEXWAVE's Artificial
Intelligence machine learning algorithms, while also gathering user
feedback.
"The HEXWAVE's ability to act as an additional layer of security
at airports, extending the perimeter of the secured area to include
the entrance to the airport itself, is an advantage," said
Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense.
"We are thrilled to be working with the GTAA as it continues to
take an innovative and forward-looking approach to security and
customer experience."
HEXWAVE is a walkthrough screening portal that uses 3D radar
imaging and Artificial Intelligence technologies to detect and
identify metallic and non-metallic concealed weapons and other
threats, providing security operators with a real-time, automatic
go/no-go decision. There is no need to stop and remove keys, cell
phones, or other items from pockets while passing through the
system. The system protects privacy by not personalizing image
data, and images can never be seen by an operator. The operator
only receives real-time information about threat type and location
as people pass through the system.
"The GTAA prioritizes security and keeping ahead of the latest
threats," said Dwayne Macintosh,
Director of Corporate Safety and Security for the GTAA. "At the
same time, we value passenger and staff experience and look to
next-generation technology to be able to balance both
considerations. We look forward to trialing HEXWAVE and its
potential to enhance safety at Toronto Pearson."
As previously announced, Liberty's beta trial locations include
onsite testing with a major US International airport, a top US
airline, a Major League Baseball (MLB) stadium, a large state
university, and one of the largest Hindu temples in North America. Liberty is also working with
the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to evaluate
HEXWAVE for its expanded detection and throughput capabilities to
screen aviation workers at a TSA designated airport in the
future.
