California’s Palm Springs International Airport has selected Liberty Defense’s Hexwave system to screen aviation workers as part of the US Transportation Security Administration’s mandate on employee screening. All major airports will be required to deploy screening technology by April 2026 to meet the 100% screening mandate.
Hexwave was selected by Palm Springs through its security services provider, Veterans High Risk Security Solutions. The system uses millimeter-wave, advanced 3D imaging and artificial intelligence to detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats and other prohibited items, including liquid, powder and plastic explosives and 3D-printed ghost guns.
In March 2024, Thruvision’s system, designed to help meet the aviation worker screening mandate, completed operational test and evaluation at San Diego International Airport. Read more about it here.
