WILMINGTON, Mass., Aug. 13,
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 systems were delivered to Linev Systems US for
deployment at correctional facilities throughout the state of
Texas. This is in support of the
purchase of 20 HEXWAVE's by the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice (TDCJ). The HEXWAVE units will be deployed at the screening
entrances to improve contraband detection capabilities such as
weapons, cell phones and drugs 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.
