Raptor Detection Wins US Army Contract to Supply SAFE-T Products

The Armament, Research, Development and Engineering Command of the US Army has awarded a contract to Raptor Detection Technologies to deliver its Substance Activated Evaluation Technology (SAFE-T).

The contract has been carried out by SOSSEC, which is a consortium of technology and homeland security firms. Raptor Technologies is also a part of this consortium.

The SAFE-T is manufactured on the basis of nanotechnology known as molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP). The product, which was developed by the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, has the ability to detect harmful toxins, chemical agents, poisons, pesticides and explosives. SAFE-T produces a reaction by a visible change in colour when it detects the dangerous molecules. The SAFE-T products come in the form of kits, which include SAFE-T WIPES and SAFE-T SPRAY. A wet wipe to collect the traces of the dangerous material is also available along with the SAFE-T SPRAY.

The SAFE-T range of products can be used safely and consistently in any environment and are very cost-effective and can be spin coated, sprayed or printed on any device in order to detect harmful agents. The kits can also be customised according to the requirement of each customer. A product of this nature could potentially be used in areas of aviation, access control and public security. Raptor Technologies has won another contract from the Explosive Ordnance Division of the US NAVY last month.
