Several other U.S. and international customers have also obtained IDSS systems.
The additional systems purchased under this contract option are scheduled to be installed in Fiscal Year 2019 at six U.S. domestic airports.
The award of this contract option compliments a number of development contracts IDSS has recently been awarded by other agencies and organizations.
These contracts, totaling over $13 million, are for adding new capabilities to the DETECT™ 1000 to advance the automated detection of certain threat types, as well as to develop new solutions for other applications and government agencies.
