• Advanced Threat Detection: Must detect a wide range of weapons, including: o Small caliber firearms (e.g., handguns) o Larger firearms (e.g., rifles, shotguns) o Knives and edged weapons • High Throughput: Capable of screening large numbers of individuals quickly with minimal bottlenecks. • Discrimination: Ability to distinguish between personal items (phones, keys, etc.) and actual threats, minimizing false positives. • Low-Contact Operation: Must allow students and staff to walk through without divesting personal items. • Operational Efficiency: Systems should be operable by minimal staff and require limited manual screening. • Integration Capabilities: Should support integrations with existing security systems (e.g., cameras, alerts, analytics dashboards). • Weather & Environmental Readiness: Units should be suitable for both indoor and semi-outdoor use under varying conditions.
