The Company welcomes Scott
Trosper, a Senior Technical Architect with 30+ years of
technical and design experience for market-leading passenger
screening technology in the aviation security space. While employed
with L3Harris (NYSE: LHX), Scott led the development of the
ProVision® system hardware (AIT-1, AIT-2), working with
Pacific Northwest National Lab and the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA). Scott holds six patents in the areas of
millimeter wave and advanced imaging technology. The ProVision is
currently used in most major airports worldwide for enhanced
passenger screening by the TSA at security checkpoints.
Earlier this year, Liberty Defense licensed two next generation
checkpoint screening technologies that it has begun working on in
anticipation of upgrading existing technology used in airports
today. The R&D 100 award winning Shoe Scanner and the High
Definition - Advanced Imaging Technology (HD-AIT) body scanner.
Both technologies were funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security Science and Technology Directorate and developed at the
Department of Energy Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, led by
the TSA's passenger screening requirements.
The Company has also hired veteran business development and
sales leader Ian McNaughton, who was
responsible for sales development for multi-billion-dollar market
leading security detection companies Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) and
L3Harris (NYSE: LHX) with a focus on government, critical
infrastructure, and public safety verticals in North America.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has hired
Amanda Rosbicki as Controller, based
in the new Wilmington, MA
headquarters, as well as two additional engineering technicians in
the Company's Atlanta Center of Excellence for Engineering
location.
"Hiring for these key functions allows Liberty to execute our
immediate plans in ramping up our HEXWAVE beta program, while also
building out our technologies that are licensed for aviation
checkpoint security and planning for future sales and
profitability," said Bill Frain, CEO
of Liberty Defense. "We are thrilled to welcome these new hires to
the company, who bring broad expertise and knowledge from
industry-leading companies. We are extremely gratified that they
have chosen to embark on the next phase of their high-level careers
with Liberty to grow our next generation security technology
portfolio."
