WILMINGTON, Mass., March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (“Liberty” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCAN, OTCQB: LDDFF, FSE: E30), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, is pleased to announce it has started their SAFETY Act (Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act) application through their strategic partner Aluma.
As part of the agreement Aluma and Liberty Defense will work together to achieve SAFETY Act for the HEXWAVE walkthrough people screening system, which uses AI and machine learning to seamlessly detect weapons and other threats in real-time.
“We are excited to partner with Liberty Defense to help achieve the SAFETY Act for the HEXWAVE™ for the urban security market,” said Akmal Ali, President, and CEO of Aluma. “Our team has assisted other live venue operators (Live Nation), Original Equipment Manufacturers (VOTI), Service Providers (Prevent Advisors), Airport Authorities (Port Authority of New York and New Jersey) and Sports Franchises (Philadelphia Phillies) in the past to achieve this designation.”
The SAFETY Act is a U.S. federal law designed to encourage the development and deployment of innovative security technologies by providing liability protections to companies in the event of a terrorist attack. Administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the SAFETY Act certification process validates the effectiveness of security solutions and ensures they meet rigorous performance standards.
"We're excited to partner with Aluma, a respected leader in the U.S. security industry. Our shared vision for next-generation technologies, particularly in detection, aligns perfectly as we work together to enhance security,” said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. “We are seeing an increased level of demand for the HEXWAVE and Safety Act is an important part of our product roadmap as a US manufacturer.”
