Last Update: 10:44 AM ET Apr 5, 2006
TEL AVIV, Israel, Apr 5, 2006 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Detex Security Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets:DXSC), a company that specializes in developing state-of-the-art security solutions, today announced that the Company has begun the reengineering and development of the second generation of its Milliscope technology. Detex intends to develop and convert its newly acquired Milliscope prototype into a fully functioning explosives screening device to be manufactured and distributed globally.
The new prototype is expected to be demonstrated by the Company in October 2006. The Milliscope, which utilizes millimeter wave explosive detection technology, will have the ability to detect contraband from a distance of 40 cm. Additionally, Detex will implement dual sensors for increased sensitivity that will greatly reduce false alarms to ensure extreme accuracy. The Milliscope, upon its completion, will have the capacity to serve as a standalone screening solution as well as a supplemental security device used to reinforce other security measures.
Radu Cosmin, Detex's Chief Technology Officer, commented, "We are very excited to be moving forward with the Milliscope's development. The first generation prototype demonstrated that the Milliscope technology can detect dangerous plastic and other types of explosives. With the second generation prototype, we are incorporating specific modifications and enhancements and expect to move much closer to a device that can be mass-manufactured and used with only limited training."
The Milliscope uses proprietary millimetric wave technology to rapidly and accurately detect plastic explosives such as Semtex and C-4, conventional explosives such as TNT, and other contraband such as metal and non-metal weapons and illegal drugs. Detex Security plans to market and distribute this portable state-of-the-art device as a detecting solution designed to provide security in public and private facilities such as airports, government buildings, schools, corporate offices and border checkpoints.
