This company develops compact terahertz imagers for real-time, proactive concealed weapons detection. Their systems use adaptive AI to interpret high-resolution terahertz data, accurately identifying metallic and non-metallic threats as people move naturally. These discreet imagers integrate with existing surveillance or operate as standalone units to enhance security awareness.

Problem
Existing security screening methods, such as metal detectors and X-ray systems, can be expensive, personnel-intensive, and intrusive, often requiring physical pat-downs. These systems also suffer from high false positive rates and may not be capable of detecting non-metallic threats. This creates operational inefficiencies and potential security gaps in various settings.
Solution
Cambridge Terahertz provides a compact, real-time, and non-intrusive concealed weapons detection system using terahertz imaging technology. Their solution employs wireless imagers that can be discreetly deployed to scan individuals as they move naturally through an environment. The system utilizes proprietary AI to interpret high-resolution terahertz data, identifying the type, shape, and location of concealed objects, both metallic and non-metallic, with minimal false positives. The technology is safe for humans and materials, emitting less power than a smartphone and is FCC-certified.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes schools, hospitals, government agencies, warehouses, and business enterprises seeking proactive and non-intrusive weapons detection solutions.
