Digital Barriers plc reports a $2.1 million contract for its ThruVis threat detection camera. According to the product developers, ThruVis can be deployed in various settings, including transport terminals, stadia and event venues, to identify potential threats in real time without it’s claimed disrupting crowd throughput. In recent independent government testing, it identified suicide vests and weapons concealed under clothing.
The product also includes automatic threat detection to remove the need for manual camera operation. ThruVis can detect metal or plastic weapons, explosives, liquids, drugs and currency. ThruVis is portable, requires no infrastructure, and can be set up in minutes, the makers add; and is non-invasive, revealing no sensitive anatomical details.
This contract, for delivery in full this financial year, is the first award under a recently secured multi-year agreement that will see the supply of ThruVis cameras to secure locations and crowded public spaces.
Zak Doffman, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Barriers said: “Coming so quickly after our first contract award from the US Transportation Security Administration and our announced collaboration with G4S, this seminal Middle East multi-year agreement and initial contract further illustrates the potential for ThruVis to completely change our ability to protect so-called soft targets from terrorist attack. Now for the first time, after ten years and tens of millions of dollars in public and private investment, we can genuinely detect concealed weapons and explosives being carried into crowded public spaces, onto transport networks, or into airports. No other technology anywhere in the world can match ThruVis for performance and usability, as has been categorically proven in recent independent government testing.”
