Everyone knows that when heading to the airport, patience is essential as you navigate customs, security, and baggage drop-off. Airports are equally aware of operational bottlenecks and are constantly exploring new ways to improve efficiency and streamline the passenger experience from departure to arrival. Today, a technology-focused micro-cap company announced that its advanced screening solution is not only delivering real-world results, but is also gaining traction among major airports that are adopting the platform to enhance operational efficiency.

Liberty Defense Holdings (TSX-Venture: SCAN) (OTCQB: LDDFF) announced a new contract to deploy its HEXWAVE™ screening technology at a major U.S. airport serving one of the country’s busiest travel regions. The agreement reflects increasing demand from large airports seeking to modernize security infrastructure while improving operational efficiency. With more than 30 million passengers annually and a sizable workforce, the airport is upgrading its screening processes to keep pace with evolving safety requirements and higher passenger volumes.

Under the contract, multiple HEXWAVE™ units will be installed at employee screening checkpoints, providing contactless, walk-through detection designed to improve threat identification while maintaining smooth movement through secure areas. The system integrates millimeter-wave sensors, 3D imaging, and artificial intelligence to detect both metallic and non-metallic weapons, including emerging threats. Built for continuous, high-traffic environments, the platform aims to deliver reliable security performance without the need for physical searches or removing personal items.

“This award highlights the increasing focus among major airports on modern, intelligence-driven screening solutions,” said Bill Frain, Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Defense. “HEXWAVE™ was designed for exactly these types of high-volume environments, and this deployment strengthens our position as airports continue to upgrade security infrastructure across the U.S.”

Shares of SCAN are currently up 4.17% at $0.125, while U.S. listed shares (LDDFF) trade higher by 3.06% at $0.09275 in early afternoon trading.
