Liberty Defense Announces Contract Award for Multiple HEXWAVE Walkthrough Screening Systems from a U.S. State Capitol Complex

Advanced millimeter-wave & AI screening to support high-throughput entry operations across two government facilities

WILMINGTON, Mass., Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (“Liberty” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCAN, OTCQB: LDDFF, FRANKFURT: E30), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, today announced it has received a competitive bid award for three (3) HEXWAVE walkthrough screening systems at a U.S. State Capitol complex in the Northeast. The systems will support security screening for officials, employees, and visitors across two high-traffic buildings. The HEXWAVE was selected following a public competitive tender process.

HEXWAVE uses active millimeter-wave imaging and AI to detect a broad range of concealed threats—including metallic and non-metallic items, liquids, gels, powders, ceramics, and other emerging materials—while allowing most everyday items to remain on the person. The system is designed for rapid, contactless, high-throughput screening and integrates with existing security workflows and video/access-control platforms.

“We are excited to win this tender and provide an enhanced level of security to the Capitol Buildings. Public-sector customers are modernizing entry screening to address today’s broader threat profile,” said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. “HEXWAVE delivers detection performance for both metallic and non-metallic threats while maintaining throughput and a positive visitor experience.”
