ATLANTA, Aug. 10, 2021 /CNW/ - Liberty Defense Holdings
Ltd. ("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCAN)
(OTCQB: LDDFF) (FRANKFURT: LD2), a leading concealed weapons
and threat detection solutions company is pleased to announce that
it has signed a technical and marketing collaboration agreement
with Micro-X Inc, the US subsidiary of Micro-X Ltd. (ASX:MX1) to
explore a combined technology offering with Liberty's HEXWAVE
walk-through screening portal for enhanced people and passenger
screening in aviation or commercial security settings.
The combination of Micro X's advanced baggage screener and
Liberty's award winning HEXWAVE walk through portal will provide an
enhanced curb to gate security solution while increasing the flow
of people at checkpoints for aviation and commercial applications
globally.
HEXWAVE is a next generation, high throughput, contactless
threat detection system, for concealed metallic and nonmetallic
objects, using AI to provide automated decisions to the security
operators to process people at speed.
Micro-X Ltd is an award winning, Australian Securities Exchange
listed hi-tech company developing and commercializing a range of
innovative x-ray imaging products for global health and security
markets, based on proprietary cold cathode, carbon nanotube (CNT)
emitter technology. Micro-X has a design and production facility in
Adelaide, Australia and a
technical and commercial team based in Seattle supporting its rapidly expanding US
business.
In November 2020, Micro-X
announced it had been selected for funding by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a passenger self-service
security screening portal and a miniaturized x-ray computed
tomography (CT) passenger baggage screening system.
"Micro-X's technology could transform airport security across
America, enabling faster and more reliable x-ray baggage screening,
re-imagining airport checkpoints," said Michael Lanzaro, President & CTO of Liberty
Defense. "We are very excited to be collaborating with Micro-X, a
truly innovative x-ray technology company that is uniquely
positioned to change the concept of operations for security
screening at airports and commercial settings. We see tremendous
integration synergies for our HEXWAVE people screening platform,
working alongside the x-ray baggage technology from Micro-X,
forming a new commercial checkpoint screening portal for our
customers."
"Liberty Defense has an experienced team in the security market,
and we were very impressed by the innovative HEXWAVE product," said
Brian Gonzales, CEO Micro-X Inc.
"This partnership is a natural fit, and I'm looking forward to
bringing our teams together to develop a revolutionary screening
approach at checkpoints across the globe."
Early collaborative work has been moving forward and will
include market research and collecting customer feedback.
