Our Mission

Protecting communities and preserving peace of mind through superior security detection solutions.

Our company

Liberty Defense provides Artificial Intelligence (AI) based security detection solutions for protecting secure locations against prohibited weapons and other threats in urban security and aviation settings. Liberty’s HEXWAVE product uses millimeter wave, advanced 3D imaging, and AI to detect concealed metallic and non-metallic weapons such as liquid, plastic, and powder explosives, 3D printed guns, and other prohibited items – without having to remove common items like cell phones or keys. The system allows for rapid, automated screening using a high throughput, contactless, walkthrough portal. Liberty has also recently licensed the millimeter wave-based, High-Definition Advanced Imaging Technology (HD-AIT) body scanner and shoe scanner technologies as part of its technology portfolio. Liberty is committed to protecting communities and preserving peace of mind through superior security detection solutions.
