Harmless MMW technology is used in almost all airports in a portal form to safely screen people, providing a greater degree of search intelligence. This patent is one of the first of its kind to be issued where MMW technologies are utilized to penetrate various footwear materials and identify threat objects and any other contraband inside a shoe or boot.
Launched in 2019, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology Apex Screening at Speed program is about systematically developing technologies for passenger screening by leveraging existing state-of-the-art technologies from industry, academia, national laboratories, and other government organizations. PRT's technology will work within the current systems such as advanced imaging portals. It will also support other security projects and efforts complimentary to the task.
"We are confident that the building of the PRT patent portfolio, combined with our in-house know-how, will provide our brand with immediate and long-term market relevance," said Dana Wheeler, President and CEO of PRT. "This patent is an important component of our intended intellectual property roadmap. ThIs Notice of Allowance of the patent is a significant achievement and is already being expanded by our team, who will deliver further intellectual property that will cover the entire global security market," concluded Wheeler.
"Today's marketplace is extremely competitive with the introduction of new technologies almost daily, however, it is rare to see a patent issued for a global technology leveraging both passenger convenience and removing operational headaches for the TSA," stated Douglas Smith, Chairman of the Board and former Assistant Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security. "Combining patented cutting-edge technology with the operational needs of the Department, is the "Holy Grail" for the frontline operational personal of the Department." added Smith.
