Athena Concealed Weapon Detection System

Unaware of the current tech in this area, but clipped this as an example.  

Introducing Athena Securitys Concealed Weapons Detection System engineered to detect a wide range of mass casualty threats like handguns, shotguns, and rifles without stopping, so users of the system can just walk through this metal detector.

Athena's walk-through metal detector system passes the Federal Standard for accuracy and is 10x faster than legacy metal detectors.  The system uses multiple sensors to both detect a threat, as well as identity and then ignore harmless personal items so that people can walk-through without removing phones, watches, belts, batteries, and other personal items. The sensors include magnetometer, induction, lidar, thermal, visual camera, and artificial intelligence technologies. It is turnkey, Athena provides everything software and hardware.  The system can be set up outdoors and can be mobile for event type security. 

The walk-through metal detector is designed to scan one person at a time, walking at normal speed, through the pillars and towards the thermal imaging camera.

The maximum number of people is about 1 per second, or 3,600 people per hour as the maximum flow rate. The system can be configured to show “Clear,” if nothing is detected and show and say “Not Clear,” if the algorithm detects a possible threat.

This alarm can be Auditory and Visual, and the alarm notification can be sent immediately to those who need it wherever they are: Security Operation Center, mobile phone App, computer-based browser, Video Management System (VMS), Access Control, or integrated with other business software.  

Most clients send proactive alerts to a predetermined escalation path if someone walks in with a weapon. The alert contains the location, date/time stamp, and a visual picture. 

Athena is a workforce multiplier because of its alert system.  Think of it as a grocery store cashier managing 8 lanes versus just one.  ..... '
