CANNINGTON-BASED explosion detection specialists QRSciences Limited has entered into a licence agreement with major US security provider L-3 Communications Security Systems Corporation.
Under the terms of the agreement, QRSciences and L-3 will co-develop explosive detection system enhancements that will increase the detection capability, functionality and reliability of some L-3 explosive detection and screening systems.
In a statement released by QR Sciences, the company said initial planned product enhancements include the capability for the reliable detection of an increased range of explosives and the reduction of false positive alarm rates, which continue to hamper the aviation security industry.
Once integrated, the companies plan to pursue Transportation Security Administration approval for these enhancements.
