G4S Introduces New High Tech Detection System at APS 2006
G4S is pleased to introduce a new high tech detection system, the BIS-WDS™ Prime, manufactured by Brijot Imaging Systems Inc. and originally developed by Lockheed Martin. The BIS-WDS™ Prime is the first and only passive concealed weapons detection system to identify weapon shapes, including guns, knives, assault rifles and other objects, including potential bombs and/or explosives, drugs, etc. in real-time using passive millimeter wave imaging combined with full-motion video.The system utilizes passive millimetre wave technology to image humans at full motion speeds as they pass through the system’s view. The system does not radiate and is small enough to be mounted on a wall or pole. Easy to install, operate and integrate with existing security equipment and protocols, our system provides the compact size and affordability required by users in today’s evolving world.
BIS-WDS™ Prime is the first to:
- Operate indoors and outdoors, during the day and at night.
- Detect weapons composed of all metals (both ferrous and non-ferrous), plastics, ceramics and/or composites.
- Provide stand-off threat detection.
- Provide a simple, easy-to-read graphical user interface requiring no special training of operators.
G4S is the sole distributor of the BIS WDS™ Prime in Hong Kong and Macau.
