- Non-invasive; people enter building as usual
Cover is developing concealed weapon detection systems.
Students enter school as usual, as non-intrusive scanners silently search the crowd for weapons.
Advanced screening
Scanners use advanced terahertz (THz) waves that are rapidly scanned across the scene and are as safe as Wi-Fi, but have higher frequency. They reach up to 15 feet and have the ability to penetrate through clothing and bags to detect objects.
AI-powered detection
Depth images generated from the terahertz wave scanners are run through an AI neural network that is trained to autonomously detect objects such as guns, knives, and explosives.
Safer. Smarter. Stronger.
Developed in partnership with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
In 2024, Cover partnered with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to license its active terahertz imaging radar intellectual property. We’re working closely with Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists to implement it.
Together, AI and terahertz waves detect concealed weapons quicker than a human, while letting school life go on as usual.
Our scanner is an active terahertz imaging system that identifies concealed weapons. It’s as safe for human bodies as home Wi-Fi.
Unrivaled security and efficiency
