There’s a groundswell of interest for threat detection technology. At Super Bowl LIV, inside and outside the Hard Rock Stadium, U.S. Customers and Border Protection used X-Ray technology to scan every vehicle coming in and going out. Other major parks are using covert threat technology, too. Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, for example, is testing technology that uses radar imaging and artificial intelligence to detect concealed weapons among attendees. “We believe this emerging threat detection technology could be the future of keeping fans safe at events by detecting weapons in real-time without disrupting pedestrian flow,” said Vernon J. Conaway Jr., the Maryland Stadium Authority’s vice president for public safety and security, as quoted by The Baltimore Sun. Similar technology is under demand for mass transit, as well. In New York, for example, Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling for the TSA to roll out technology to thwart potential terror attacks at transit hubs. According to Security Info Watch, the technology includes “futuristic machines use millimeter wave technology instead of radiation to scan for metallic objects on a person’s body, and can identify the presence of explosives and suicide vests.” As security becomes essential in today’s world, some of the top companies to watch include Patriot One Technologies Inc. (TSX:PAT)(OTCQX:PTOTF), Axon Enterprise Inc. (NASDAQ:AAXN), Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN), and Leidos Holdings Inc. (NYSE:LDOS).
