HiEnergy Technologies, Inc. HIET), the homeland security industry leader in
neutron-based diagnostic technology, announced today that it has completed the
prototype testing required to proceed with the product launch of a new line of
robot-borne Atometer(TM) explosive detection devices, under the STARRAY(TM)
banner.
STARRAY(TM) evolved from HiEnergy's research and development efforts in
landmine detection with the U.S. Army and its recent advancements in stand-off
detection of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs. The first STARRAY(TM)
system is configured for the Andros Mark V robotic remote vehicle, which is
manufactured by Remotec, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, and can cover rough
terrain, climb stairs, clear obstacles and cross ditches in diverse weather
and heat conditions. The system is capable of non-invasively and remotely
determining, in a little as 40 seconds, the presence of landmines, concealed
explosives or unexploded ordnance in a specific area, and the type of
munitions or explosives discovered.
Bolstered by successful field testing, including two weeks of extensive
open-air live blind tests conducted with the U.S. Army, as well as strong
interest from the homeland security marketplace, management approved
STARRAY(TM) as HiEnergy's third commercial line to integrate its proprietary
and groundbreaking Atometry(TM) technology. STARRAY(TM) follows the
commercialization of HiEnergy's CarBomb Finder(TM) and SIEGMA(TM) systems,
which to date have been purchased by the U.S. Army and Southeastern
Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
"There have been many robotic platforms introduced to the security
marketplace in the past; however none have had the functionality and accuracy
that comes with the convergence of our embedded Atometer(TM) explosive
detectors," stated Roger Spillmann, HiEnergy's President & CEO. "Our sales
team will work closely with our subsidiary, HiEnergy Defense, Inc., authorized
resellers and distributors, as well as leading manufacturers and integrators
of robotic platforms, to generate sales. Our goal is to make STARRAY(TM) the
leading solution in the fight against terrorism and the system of choice for
automated, remote explosives detection."
HiEnergy intends to market STARRAY(TM) to the U.S. Department of Defense,
which has allocated more than $3.3 billion in the fight against IEDs, which
has been the biggest killer of U.S. troops in Iraq, and to our nation's first
responder community, which includes more than 450 State and local police bomb
squads, as well as other law enforcement entities within the United States.
In October 2005, HiEnergy Technologies announced that the U.S. Army
selected its white paper on its robot-borne detector of IEDs and landmines for
submission of a full proposal, and in December 2005, announced the
appropriation of $1 million for "stoichiometric" explosive detection systems
with the U.S. Army under Program Element 0602712A.
ABOUT HIENERGY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (www.hienergyinc.com)
HiEnergy Technologies, Inc. is the creator of the world's first
"stoichiometric" diagnostic devices that can effectively decipher chemical
composition of unknown substances through metal or other barriers, almost
instantly and without human intervention. HiEnergy's Atometer(TM) devices
incorporate a proprietary interrogation process which activates a selected
target with neutrons causing the contents to emit back gamma rays that contain
unique signatures from which the chemical formulas are derived. HiEnergy
believes its Atometry(TM) technology compares with other detection
technologies like color photography compares with black-and-white photography.
HiEnergy is focused on the commercialization and sale of its portable,
suitcase-borne SIEGMA(TM) 3E3; the CarBomb Finder(TM) 3C4, a vehicle-borne
system, for the detection and identification of car bombs; and the
STARRAY(TM), its robot-borne detector of IEDs, landmines and unexploded
ordnance. The Company is marketing its devices to governmental and private
entities and is negotiating licenses for distribution of its devices with
various industry partners. The Company also continues to focus on the research
and development of additional applications of its technologies and their
further exploitation, both internally and through collaboration with third
parties.
