Delivers Kit to Transportation Security Lab for Test and Evaluation
WILMINGTON, Mass., Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (“Liberty” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCAN, OTCQB: LDDFF, FSE:E30), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, is pleased to announce the completion of its design improvements to the High-Definition Advanced Imaging Technology (HD-AIT) wideband upgrade kit, pending safety and regulatory system validation testing. The upgrade was funded by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as part of its initiative to advance aviation security infrastructure, by improving the capabilities and extending the lifecycle of existing deployed body scanners. Liberty Defense has delivered the upgrade kit to the TSA for evaluation and testing at the Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL).
The HD-AIT people screening technology platform for threat detection utilizes a wider frequency bandwidth, which enhances resolution and signal detail, and supports third-party development of Machine Learning Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) algorithms intended to achieve improved threat detection with a lower false alarm rate, resulting in a better passenger experience. The HD-AIT upgrade kit being developed is designed to enhance the capabilities of an existing AIT unit using Open Architecture, allowing the use of third-party hardware and software components. Per the TSA, Open Architecture is a technology-design approach for software and hardware that uses widely accepted standards to ensure interoperability across tools and platforms regardless of the technology designer, manufacturer, or supplier.
The design and development of the upgraded system have been finalized, and Liberty internal performance validation confirms that the HD-AIT enhanced body scanner is expected to meet or exceed the detection capabilities of the experimental prototype originally developed by Pacific Northwest National Labs. The system being delivered to TSL will be used to collect data critical to training the third-party threat detection algorithms. The TSL is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Laboratory.
“This milestone reinforces Liberty’s leadership in threat detection technology,” said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. “The commercialization of the kit is a culmination of two plus years of dedication by the engineering team and close partnership with TSA and Pacific Northwest National Labs. The HD-AIT upgrade offers significantly improved resolution and advanced AI-driven detection algorithms that Liberty anticipates will enable better threat identification, increase throughput, and enhance overall experience for passengers.”
Liberty Defense continues to execute on a robust pipeline of government and commercial opportunities aimed at transforming security infrastructure through advanced imaging and AI technologies.
