Toronto Pearson International Airport will
deploy the HEXWAVE walkthrough security detection
portal to seamlessly screen for potential concealed
threats
WILMINGTON, Mass. and TORONTO, June 8, 2023
/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 the Greater Toronto
Airports Authority (GTAA) to determine how its capability can be
used and deployed at Toronto Pearson International Airport,
Canada's largest airport.
"As industry leaders, we are excited to be the first airport in
the world to acquire the HEXWAVE system to evaluate how best to use
in our broader airport security program," said Dwayne MacIntosh, Director, Corporate Safety and
Security, GTAA. "We plan to roll out the use of HEXWAVE in the
second half of this year, working with airport stakeholders to
assess the best locations to provide enhanced security and an
improved screening experience in non-traditional areas of the
airport. We are excited to work with Liberty Defense as we are
continually looking to innovate and improve the overall safety of
our airport."
Unlike weapon detection technology, HEXWAVE uses millimeter
wave, advanced 3D imaging, and AI to detect all types of concealed
metallic and non-metallic threats and other prohibited items –
without the passenger having to divest common 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 threats of
concern today that enhanced metal detectors on the market cannot
detect.
"We are thrilled that the GTAA has selected Liberty Defense to
bring the HEXWAVE to the Toronto Pearson airport," said
Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense.
"The flexibility of the HEXWAVE allows the GTAA to quickly deploy
and move the HEXWAVE to areas inside and outside the airport. We
are thrilled to work with them on their continued aviation industry
innovation."
