Check4-THREATS™
A forward-deployed sensor system for real-time detection and reporting of national security threats.
Check4-THREATS™ is a forward-deployed sensor system for real-time monitoring of cargo and passengers for security threats. Threats include explosives, drugs, chemicals and biological, radiological and nuclear material.
How is Check4-THREATS™ different from other security screening methods?
Check4-THREATS™ is a forward-deployed sensor system that is more cost-effective and accurate than existing centrally-deployed checkpoint security screening systems. We believe that centrally-deployed checkpoint screening is an artifact of the response to 9/11. In the early 2000s, forward-deployed sensor systems for real-time monitoring of security threats were not technically possible. However, recent advancements in sensors, microelectronics and wireless transmission of data have now made forward-deployed sensor systems possible.

FORWARD-DEPLOYED
Check4-THREATS™ is a forward-deployed sensor system for real-time monitoring of security threats. Unlike existing centrally-deployed security checkpoint screening systems, Check4-THREATS™ uses time to its advantage in accurately identifying security threats. Check4-THREATS™ is not required to detect threats immediately, rather over a longer period of time in an enclosed area, providing a distinct competitive advantage for accurate detection of security threats.
AVOID SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION
Check4-THREATS™ screens all cargo and passengers and only generates security alerts for those targets that are likely to present a security threat. This approach enables a truly secure supply chain, while minimizing disruptions to supply chains under current security screening systems.
COST-EFFECTIVE
The U.S. government estimates that centrally-deployed scanning of every cargo container entering the U.S. would cost as much as $220 per container and as much as $32 billion to implement over 10 years. Check4-THREATS™ estimated cost is less than $50 per container and would cost significantly less to implement than centralized scanning of containers.

How does the forward-deployed Check4-THREATS™ system work?
Check4-THREATS™ is a miniature, inexpensive, tamper-proof sensor device placed in enclosed areas containing people or cargo for accurate detection of security threats. The device samples air inside of enclosed areas, detecting chemicals indicative of explosives, drugs or other materials harmful to humans. The devices transmit signals wirelessly to security operation centers and smart devices of security agents, enabling immediate response by security agents.
