Supply SAFE-T Explosive Detection Products to US Army

COLUMBIA, MD -- (September 20, 2011) Raptor Detection Technologies, LLC announced today that it has been contracted to supply its line of “Substance Activated Fast Evaluation Technology” (SAFE-T) products to the United States Army Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Command. The contract vehicle is with SOSSEC, Inc., a consortium of homeland security and technology firms of which Raptor is a member. The award comes one month after Raptor was awarded a significant contract by the US Navy’s Explosive Ordnance Division (NAVEOD).

“This new award confirms the Army’s support of Raptor’s SAFET products and the Company’s ability to successfully bring SAFET products to full operational readiness with a goal of becoming a program of record,” said Dr. Jonathan Gluckman, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Raptor.  “The detection capability we are developing jointly with the Army will enhance greatly the ability of our warfighters to meet the global terrorist threat.”

According to Dr. Gluckman, Raptor will continue the spiral development program with the Army designed to expand the detection library and attract participation of other key Government agencies involved in counterterrorism.
