Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the limitations of current airport body scanners in the U.S., highlighting their failure to accurately detect threats and the high false-positive rates associated with millimeter-wave technology. It introduces Tek84's Defender™ as a superior alternative.
Current Challenges:
  • U.S. airport body scanners often miss weapons or explosives 80% to 95% of the time during federal covert security tests.
  • Millimeter-wave scanners have a false-positive rate exceeding 50%, causing delays and frustration.
  • France and Germany have rejected millimeter-wave scanners due to inefficiencies.
Tek84's Defender™ Solution:
  • Offers fast, reliable threat detection with advanced imaging technology.
  • Uses ultra-low-dose radiation, significantly lower than standard medical x-rays.
  • Features a compact design for flexible installation.
  • Triple-mode scanning captures detailed images in about 7 seconds.
Technical Specifications:
  • Physical footprint: 60 x 60 inches; height: 95.5 inches; weight: 850 lbs.
  • Operates in temperatures from 32-120 degrees F and humidity less than 95%.
  • Radiation dose per screening is <5 uRem, compliant with ANSI/HPS N43-17-2009 standards.
  • Capable of screening 300 persons per hour.
Advantages of Backscatter Technology:
  • Uses low-energy x-rays for superior detection with low false alarms.
  • Provides clear, photograph-like images for accurate threat identification.
  • Contrasts with millimeter-wave technology, which has higher false-positive rates and less accurate imaging.
Case Study - Israel:
  • Defender™ is exclusively certified for use in Israeli airports, including Ben Gurion International Airport.
  • Adopted by various Israeli agencies for border, governmental, and military security.
Conclusion: Tek84's Defender™ offers a reliable, efficient, and safe alternative to current airport body scanning technologies, addressing both safety and privacy concerns while improving threat detection accuracy.

DEFENDER-1

Fast, reliable threat detection for secured facilities, public settings and anywhere security is essential Most U.S. airport body scanners meet public concerns related to safety and privacy. However, despite an investment of tens of millions of dollars, these scanning systems often fail to accurately detect threats. • Repeated federal covert security tests at dozens of airport checkpoints report missing weapons or explosives 80% to 95% of the time. Much of the blame goes to body scanners using millimeter wave and faulty automated threat detection technology. France and Germany rejected millimeter-wave scanners because the false-positive rate exceeded 50%. The false alarms, triggered by folds in clothing, buttons and even perspiration, slowed the screening process and frustrated passengers as well as security officials. The Tek84 Solution Tek84’s Defender™ is a full body scanning system for public settings, including airports, courthouses, and embassies, offering fast and reliable threat detection. Advanced imaging technology provides superior head-to-toe danger identification while protecting individual privacy. Defender™: Superior Body Scanning System Provides exceptional image clarity with ultra-lowdose radiation – ten thousand times lower than a standard medical x-ray. Triple-mode scanning enables fast, reliable headto-toe threat detection. Compact 5’x5’ footprint provides greater location flexibility. Airports | Military | Border control Government buildings | Critical Infrastructure Tek84’s previous generation backscatter body scanner has been deployed at over 1,000 security sites worldwide, primarily airports and war zones. Defender is the next generation of this technology, with game-changing improvements. (858)-676-5382 13495 Gregg Street | Poway,

How Defender Works Defender combines superior scanning technology and intuitive controls for simple, fast and reliable detection of threats within and beneath clothing. Security officer at scanner Defender’s triple-mode scan captures six separate images of the front, back, sides and feet/ankles in about 7 seconds. These scanned images are sent to remote reviewers at private locations for analysis. Remote image reviewers mark the location of any detected anomalies on a generic human illustration. The location of anomalies is sent to the scanning operator for investigation. (858)-676-5382 13495...

DEFENDER-3

Defender is Safe and Effective Defender uses an ultra-low dose of radiation to quickly render sharp images that accurately reveal hidden threats. Defender meets federal standards for body scanner radiation safety established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI N43-17). • A single Defender scan is the equivalent of 15 minutes of natural environment radiation that humans are exposed to every day. A person could be scanned 20 times each day and still comply with the ANSI N43-17 requirements. A typical screening of once per day, or less, places a person in the category of Negligible...

Case Study: Israel Chooses Defender™ Israeli airport security is widely considered the best in the world. More than a decade ago, Israeli authorities granted exclusive certification to Defender for use in the country’s airports. Ben Gu-rion International Airport began using Defender at all its security checkpoints in 2012. This success has led many other Israeli agencies to follow, now operating Defender at border crossings, governmental buildings, military facilities, and dignitary locations. The U.S. military also relies on Defender for base security. Feet: Retractable leveling feet with rollers...
