Sentaria proposes to develop a new instrument for detecting concealed threats on moving individuals at range in defense and commercial security applications. The Adaptive Platform for Sensing and Imaging (APSI) aims to identify concealed metallic threat objects on people moving through large crowds. APSI could protect U.S. military bases worldwide, where hundreds or thousands of foreign workers may enter daily and require eDicient, reliable screening. The platform could also support homeland security and public safety eDorts to reduce mass-casualty violence. It is intended to operate in crowded environments where conventional screening instruments cannot function eDectively. The integrated instrument would combine multiband radio-frequency sensing, computational imaging, and AI-enabled analytics to detect, classify, and locate potential threat objects in real time. Drawing on specialized expertise across these technologies, the multidisciplinary Sentaria team would design APSI to operate autonomously without dedicated entry-point screening personnel. Sentaria anticipates a focused three-year research and development eDort to demonstrate a proof of concept based on its patented technology, validate performance in representative operational conditions, and establish a practical path to commercialization. If successful, APSI could significantly expand security screening capabilities by enabling automated, at-range detection in dynamic, high-traDic environments that current systems cannot adequately address.
