Swedish threat detection and security technology company Portendo launches its new product P.Eye at the Counter Terror Expo ’09 in London, 10-11th February.
The P.Eye standoff threat detector, based on Portendo’s proprietary technology, can detect and identify explosives in a matter of seconds from a distance of up to 50 metres, the firm says.
When integrated with existing perimeter protection, the unit offers says Peter Strömbeck, VP Product Management at Portendo, a security solution for public buildings and other exposed civilian targets. Mounted on a military vehicle, the P.Eye becomes a mobile detection unit capable of identifying potential threats in the surrounding area.
The P.Eye has been developed with the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI). Its technology is based on Raman spectroscopy, which provides a molecular signature of hazardous agents enabling immediate long-range detection and identification of explosives. The first P.Eye prototype has been delivered to BAE Systems Bofors, the defence company, for test integration in weapons and sensor platforms.
The P.Eye will be on display at Portendo’s stand C76 during both days of the Counter Terror Expo. Daniel Svensson, Portendo’s VP of Marketing, will give a speech on Standoff Explosives Detection to Counter the Terror Threat on Tuesday February 10 in connection with the Counter Terror Expo.
