Jan. 7, 2005-- Markland Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:MRKL - News), a defense and homeland security company transforming advanced laboratory technology into real-world products, has announced successful test reviews of its suite of next-generation electronic imaging and other detection solutions to spot suicide bombers and other armed terrorists before they can carry out their attacks. The announcement was made by Robert Tarini, Chairman and CEO of Markland.
The initial development and testing phases of the suicide bomber detection systems have been conducted under contract with the U.S. Army. Markland subsidiary EOIR Technologies has kept the technology on a fast-track development cycle, and upon receipt of subsequent rounds of Department of Defense funding, believes it will be able to quickly deliver live, field-ready systems.
"Army leaders have made it clear that the development of more effective technologies and methods to stop suicide bombers is a top priority, and Markland has responded with an approach that we believe will yield the best results in the shortest possible time," said Mr. Tarini.
While the military has funded development of the suicide bomber detection systems, Markland expects the products and technologies will also be employed in civilian settings in the United States, such as at federal buildings, shopping areas, sporting events and other potential terrorist targets. "We hope that such attacks don't occur on American soil, but we cannot ignore the risk," said Mr. Tarini. "We believe our products will eventually provide an additional measure of security for innocent civilians in the U.S. and abroad."
Markland has developed a unique three-tiered screening system that combines a range of existing thermal imaging and other advanced sensor technology with new Markland-developed software analysis techniques. Together, they generate detection capabilities, which the company believes can be significantly more powerful than could be achieved by any single system.
This technology can be one of the most important technologies in modern times. Lets hope they can build models that are affordable enough that arenas and most public places can afford.
I assume since the first rounds of testing were successful and Eoir is briming with confidence that the next news will be about additional governemtn funding likely next week sometime
