Detex to develop the next generation of Milliscope technology for plastic explosives detection
Security solutions developing company, Detex Security Systems, has begun the reengineering and development of the second generation of its Milliscope technology. The Next Generation Milliscope will have the ability to detect contraband and plastic explosives using dual sensors for increased sensitivity that will greatly reduce false alarms and ensure extreme accuracy.
Detex intends to develop and convert its newly acquired Milliscope prototype into a fully functioning explosives screening device to be manufactured and distributed globally. The new prototype is expected to be demonstrated by the company in October 2006. The Milliscope uses proprietary millimetric wave technology to rapidly and accurately detect plastic explosives such as Semtex and C-4, conventional explosives such as TNT, and other contraband such as metal and non-metal weapons and illegal drugs.
Detex (formerly Royal Sunmark Energy Corp.), located in Israel, currently has 12 full-time employees and is headed by Gabriel Bitton, a Senior Metallurgical Engineer who previously headed sales and marketing for British Oxygen worldwide. Earlier this year, Detex has acquired all of the explosives detection technology from Intelligent Industrial Systems Research, Ltd. which includes a functioning prototype device.
