Innovative Covert Concealed Weapons Detection System in Prep for Commercialization

Patriot is at an advanced development stage of its NForce covert concealed weapons system, with over five years of academic research and successful testing complete. Early stage trial devices are currently advancing to prototypes slated for pilot use in a number of Canadian and US facilities by year end. Patriot has further entered into dialogue with certain law enforcement partners in order to collect weapons signature data for use in the Company’s rapidly growing proprietary NForce weapons detection library.

Current competitive technologies are large, expensive and require operators and/or personal compliance to screen for threats. As has been proven numerous times recently, committed active shooters simply identify soft targets or otherwise circumvent static scanning equipment altogether. Patriot is developing technologies to be deployed covertly to screen without a subject’s individual awareness, even while the subject is moving.

Patriot’s goal is to Deter, Detect and Defend against active threats to citizens who rely on an ability to visit schools, offices, shopping centers, transit hubs and other facilities without fear of random acts of senseless violence occurring during their daily activities.

Patriot CEO, Mr. Martin Cronin states, “We have developed our NForce CMR1000 covert concealed weapons detection system as a robust and cutting edge tool for law enforcement, professional security experts and business owners alike, as a means to directly address a primary threat to public safety today. In recent times there have been many instances of ‘disruptive technologies,’ and we believe NForce is truly disruptive in many ways.”
