The HEXWAVE walkthrough security detection
portal will be evaluated for enhancing employee screening and
seamlessly detecting potential threats
WILMINGTON, Mass. and LOS ANGELES, May 1, 2023
/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 Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) today began a customer
evaluation of the HEXWAVE™ system for one week at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for
potential use conducting employee screening at its airport
facilities.
LAWA operates and maintains three airports, LAX, Van Nuys
Airport, and the LA/Palmdale Regional Airport, employing thousands
of aviation workers with many access points at its facilities. LAWA
maintains its own police department, the Los Angeles Airport
Police, responsible for the security programs at its airports. The
HEXWAVE will be deployed for evaluation in the field during
real-time security operations at LAX in the Tom Bradley
International Terminal.
LAX is one of the busiest and biggest airports, acting as an
international hub which served 65 million passengers in 2022.
"We take security measures and the efficiency of screening very
seriously at our airports, and our approach is to look to security
technology that can help us continue to stay ahead of the curve,"
said Chief Cecil Rhambo, Chief of
Police at Los Angeles World Airports. "The mobility of the HEXWAVE
system and its ability to detect non-metallic and metallic threats
are features we look forward to evaluating during this trial phase
to help enhance our employee screening capabilities."
HEXWAVE uses millimeter wave, advanced 3D imaging, and AI to
detect concealed metallic and non-metallic weapons such as liquid,
plastic, and powder explosives, 3D printed guns, and other
prohibited items – without having to divest common items like cell
phones or keys. The system allows for rapid, automated screening
using a high throughput, contactless, walkthrough portal.
"The HEXWAVE technology provides a flexible screening solution
that can be rapidly deployed to various areas within and outside
airport facilities, as well as improve screening efficiency," said
Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense.
"This makes the system an ideal option for enhancing aviation
worker screening protocols, and we are excited that LAWA will
evaluate the HEXWAVE with the goal of adding to their existing
security program."
