loss prevention market

"Liberty Defense Enters Commercial Loss Prevention Market with Multi-Site HEXWAVE"

third-party logistics market

"a provider of third-party logistics, warehousing and manufacturing services"

Third-party logistics (3PL) are firms that handle warehousing, shipping, order fulfillment and other supply-chain tasks for other companies—like hiring a moving company to store, pack and deliver your goods. Investors care because outsourcing these functions affects a company’s costs, delivery speed, ability to scale and exposure to disruptions; reliable, cost-effective 3PL partners can improve margins and growth, while problems or higher fees can weigh on revenue and customer satisfaction.

millimeter wave technology technical

"HEXWAVE detects metallic and non-metallic threats using millimeter wave technology"

Millimeter wave technology uses very high radio frequencies that carry large amounts of data over short distances, often enabling ultra-fast wireless links, radar sensing, and high-resolution imaging. For investors, it matters because it opens new markets and drives demand for specialized components, infrastructure upgrades and spectrum licensing—similar to adding extra fast lanes on a highway to handle more traffic and enable new services, which can boost revenues for equipment makers and network operators.

3D video-rate imaging technical

"using millimeter wave technology and 3D video-rate imaging, with automatic threat"

A real-time imaging capability that captures three-dimensional pictures at the same speed as conventional video, typically dozens of frames per second. Like turning a moving scene into a live 3D movie rather than a series of still photos, it lets users see depth and motion continuously, which matters to investors because it can enable faster diagnostics, automated inspection, or live guidance in products and services, affecting market demand and competitive advantage.

deep learning algorithms technical

"automatic threat detection powered by AI and deep learning algorithms"

Deep learning algorithms are computer programs that learn to recognize patterns by processing data through many layers of simple mathematical units, loosely inspired by how networks of brain cells work. They matter to investors because they power automated analysis, forecasting, and decision tools across industries—like a multi-step filter that turns raw data into actionable signals—affecting companies' products, costs and competitive positions.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"When used in this press release, the words ... are intended to identify forward-looking statements"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Exhibit 99.1

Liberty Defense Enters Commercial Loss Prevention Market with Multi-Site HEXWAVE Agreement

A third-party logistics and manufacturing provider will deploy two HEXWAVE systems at a U.S. facility in 2026, with additional systems projected for a second facility in 2027.

Wilmington, MA, USA – September 16th, 2026 - Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (“Liberty” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DETX; TSXV: SCAN), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, today announced that a provider of third-party logistics, warehousing and manufacturing services will deploy two HEXWAVE™ systems at one of its U.S. facilities in 2026, and is projecting additional systems for a second facility in 2027.

The customer is acquiring the systems under a financing option Liberty offers commercial customers, which lets a buyer bring screening online without a capital request. Financial terms were not disclosed. Similar to other HEXWAVE deployments, the systems are covered by a service and support agreement.

The company handles and manufactures product on behalf of its own customers, which puts customer intellectual property inside its buildings alongside its own inventory. A walk-through metal detector finds metal. HEXWAVE detects metallic and non-metallic items concealed on a person, including ceramics, plastics and powders, and reports the location by body region so the operator knows where to look.

Screening the same workforce every shift is a different problem from screening a crowd once. The HEXWAVE operator sees a generic body outline rather than a picture of the person being screened, and HEXWAVE does not store images or capture personal information about the people it screens. In the S-Configuration people follow the floor arrows through the lane at a walking pace without stopping.

“Loss prevention buys differently than other critical infrastructure applications do,” said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. “A distribution and manufacturing operation is protecting against something that shows up on the books every quarter, and the customer almost always runs more than one building. We are not only protecting the employees, but we are safeguarding the assets. This customer is a strong fit for HEXWAVE and represents the kind of commercial market the technology was built to serve.”

HEXWAVE detects metallic and non-metallic threats using millimeter wave technology and 3D video-rate imaging, with automatic threat detection powered by AI and deep learning algorithms. It also detects contraband and other prohibited items, including liquids, powders, plastics, vapes and phones. HEXWAVE has been selected for use in aviation, government buildings, laboratories, courthouses, correctional facilities, and a range of public and commercial venues.
