Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. is pleased to announce that HEXWAVE was installed and put into operation at the Rochester and Manchester Airports to screen aviation workers as part of the new TSA Mandate on Employee Screening. Units have also been installed at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
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. 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.
In addition, the company has shipped initial units to support the order from Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to screen staff and visitors that will enter correctional facilities.
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.
