Brijot Imaging Systems' Weapons Detection System Installed as Part of Department of Homeland Security Rail Security Pilot Project Field Demonstration at Jersey City's Exchange Place PATH Station



    BIS-WDS Prime Searches Passengers for Possible Explosives
    and Suicide Bombs

    Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc. announces today that its BIS-WDS(TM)
    Prime has been installed for live, passenger screening operation at
    the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's (PANYNJ) Exchange
    Place PATH transit system station in Jersey City, New Jersey as part
    of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Rail Security Pilot
    Project's two week field demonstration of promising advanced
    technologies that detect explosives and other large weapons used to
    injure passengers or damage facilities and equipment, and that pose
    serious potential threats to the nation's rail systems. Brijot's
    product -- which provides full-motion, automated detection of
    potential suicide bombs hidden beneath a person's clothing -- was
    selected for the live, real-world field testing phase after successful
    laboratory assessment.
    "This field demonstration is of utmost importance to the
    protection of our citizens and mass transit infrastructure. This is
    what the entire Brijot team has worked for: a system where rail
    passengers can be screened for suicide bombs with minimal change to
    transit entry lanes or interruption of passenger flow. Passengers do
    not have to stop or enter an enclosed portal device, or be concerned
    about the system's screening technique. It operates just like a video
    camera does, without any effect on the person or persons standing in
    its view and without imaging any body details. Those with pacemakers,
    pregnant women, children, anyone and everyone can stand in the
    system's view forever and never be concerned," says Brijot President
    and CEO Brian J. Andrew. "We finally have the technology available to
    assist law enforcement agencies responsible for the security of the
    traveling public to thwart suicide bombers. The challenge from here on
    out will be the swiftness of authorities to implement at mass transit
    locations."
    For the Rail Security Project's two-week field trial phase two
    BIS-WDS Prime cameras have been deployed for live operation as part of
    an entry lane application and will be used to screen PATH transit
    system patrons as they enter Exchange Place Station's entry
    turnstiles. In such a scenario utilizing Brijot's recently announced
    special suicide bomb detection software package, a two-camera
    deployment can accommodate a throughput rate of 720 people per hour
    for a single turnstile lane, identifying the exact location of
    suspicious objects on a full-motion video without the need for the
    patron to stop, empty pockets or enter a portal device.
    The BIS-WDS Prime is a passive millimeter wave system that does
    not subject screened persons to any type of energy or radiation
    what-so-ever. The technology poses no health or environmental risks to
    any passengers or station employees, and is of no concern for persons
    with pacemakers or pregnant women. In addition, the system does not
    image any specific body details, profile or otherwise discriminate
    against any person based on physical characteristics but, rather,
    identifies only those individuals carrying suspicious objects.
