$2.1m ThruVis Contract Award in Middle East
Digital Barriers plc (the "Group"), the specialist provider of
visually intelligent solutions to the global surveillance, security
and safety markets, is pleased to announce that it has secured a
$2.1 million contract for its unique ThruVis standoff threat
detection camera. ThruVis delivers a level of performance and real
world usability unlike any other solution on the market. It can be
deployed in various settings, including transport terminals, stadia
and event venues, to identify potential threats in real time
without disrupting crowd throughput. In recent independent
government testing, it proved 100 per cent successful in
identifying suicide vests and weapons concealed under clothing.
In multiple trials and real-world deployments, ThruVis has been
proven to be materially more effective than any other solution of
its kind. No other technology can match its detection rates or its
throughput. The solution 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; unlike other technologies it is also completely
passive, and is entirely safe to use, as well as being
non-invasive, revealing no sensitive anatomical details.
This contract, for delivery in full this financial year, is the
first award under a recently secured multiyear agreement that will
see the supply of a large number of ThruVis cameras to help protect
secure locations and crowded public spaces from the threat of
terrorist attack.
Zak Doffman, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Barriers
commented:
"Coming so quickly after our first contract award from the US
Transportation Security Administration and our announced
collaboration with G4S, this seminal Middle East multiyear
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."
