Liberty Defense wins Hexwave contract at major U.S. airport

Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: DETX; TSXV: SCAN) has been awarded a contract to deploy its Hexwave screening system at a major U.S. international airport, according to a press release from the company.

The unnamed airport serves more than 30 million domestic and international passengers annually and ranks among the top 20 busiest airports in the United States. The Hexwave units will be used at aviation worker screening checkpoints.

The system uses millimeter wave technology, 3D imaging, and artificial intelligence to detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats, including liquid, plastic, and powder explosives, 3D-printed weapons, and other prohibited items.

"Securing another major U.S. airport reflects the growing demand for next-generation screening technologies that improve both safety and operational efficiency," said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense.

The deployment is tied to evolving Transportation Security Administration worker screening requirements. Liberty Defense did not disclose financial terms of the contract.
