WILMINGTON, Mass., Oct. 15,
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 has
been selected by Fairbanks
International Airport, Alaska to
screen aviation workers as part of the new TSA Mandate on Employee
Screening.
In April 2023, a mandate was
issued requiring U.S. airports to adopt physical screening
procedures for employees with access to secure-side areas of the
airport. The mandate was further reinforced by a U.S. Court of
Appeals decision denying airports the ability to delay the
screening process. All major airports will be required to deploy
screening technology by April 2026 to
meet the 100% screening mandate. To implement screening for
aviation workers, airports will need technologies that provide a
broad range of threat detection that can meet the current screening
requirements and those mandated for the future.
Fairbanks International Airport
is the gateway to Alaska's
interior and Denali National Park.
The airport is one half of the Alaska International Airport System and serves
more than a million passengers annually. With its state-of-the-art
landing systems and terminal facilities, Fairbanks International Airport is equipped to
handle any size and type of aircraft, 24-hours a day.
The system selected by Fairbanks International Airport, 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.
"We are excited to be working with Fairbanks Airport on their
employee screening initiatives and look forward to expanding our
services in the region," says Liberty CEO Bill Frain. "We are seeing an aggressive level
of interest in HEXWAVE by small, mid size, and large airport
authorities to support the worker screening mandate. The mobility,
ease of use and effectiveness of the HEXWAVE makes it very
attractive to airports for meeting TSA safety and security
requirements. We expect that HEXWAVE will become the clear choice,
nationally, as airports work to satisfy this mandate."
