HEXWAVE utilizes artificial intelligence, machine learning, and active sensing technology to detect both metallic and non-metallic threats, including weapons and explosives. The system is designed to provide real-time threat detection while maintaining high throughput, allowing individuals to pass through screening checkpoints with minimal disruption.
For Liberty, the arrangement provides access to VMI Security’s established customer base, sales network, and industry expertise. VMI serves a range of security-sensitive sectors, including aviation, government, critical infrastructure, and public assembly venues, areas where demand for advanced screening solutions continues to grow.
The partnership is expected to strengthen Liberty’s commercialization efforts by increasing exposure for HEXWAVE among potential customers seeking integrated security solutions. VMI’s experience combining multiple screening technologies into broader security platforms could also create additional opportunities for Liberty to secure new deployments and contracts.
As security operators continue to seek faster and more effective methods of identifying evolving threats, Liberty believes the expanded distribution network will help accelerate market adoption of HEXWAVE and support the company’s growth strategy in the U.S. security screening market.
