WILMINGTON, Mass., July 19,
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 was selected by Texas Department of
Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to screen staff and visitors who enter
correctional facilities. The award is for twenty (20) HEXWAVE
units that will be used at facilities throughout the state.
The order was received with our distribution partner Viken
Detection after LINEV Systems U.S. won the contract in a
competitive public tender in the State of
Texas. The HEXWAVE units will be deployed at the
screening entrances to improve contraband detection capabilities
while increasing search capacity and consistency.
The selection of Liberty Defense's HEXWAVE technology reaffirms
TDCJ's commitment to securing their facilities with a modern-day
security approach, ensuring minimized entry wait times and enabling
the most secure and safe access for all entering the
facilities.
The TDCJ is responsible for the supervision of approximately
155,000 incarcerated inmates. The Texas Department of Corrections
contains 51 state prisons along with several other facilities for
inmates. Their mission is to provide public safety, promote
positive change in inmate behavior, reintegrate inmates into
society and assist victims of crime.
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.
"This is clearly a breakthrough win for Liberty and our HEXWAVE walk through screening
technology over other systems currently deployed in the corrections
market," said Bill Frain, CEO of
Liberty Defense. "The ability of HEXWAVE to safely and effectively
screen visitors for non-metallic and metallic threats was a key
decision for the award along with the small footprint and best
value versus current offerings. We continue to see more demand for
comprehensive threat detection in multiple market verticals like
corrections, aviation worker screening, and government facilities,
among others."
