Weapon detection system being developed to protect public spaces

A weapon detection system for concealed and openly carried weapons, such as knives and long guns, is being developed to protect public spaces, as well as temporary public events, using WiFi- based technology. These capabilities for detecting suspicious metal items with wireless signals have already been demonstrated and the first version of the system will be released by the end of the year, says safety and security technology development company First Responder Technologies CEO Robert Delamar. The system, which consists of a concealed weapon detection network and open-carry detection camera network, protects the perimeter and interior of public spaces, such as sports stadiums, campuses, public schools and open-air markets, and provides early warnings to security service providers when a dangerous weapon is detected, which will help to reduce incidents of crime.
