ISA's Duos Technologies Awarded Contract from Department of Homeland Security
DHS Funded Rail Undercarriage Program
JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2015 / Information Systems Associates Inc.'s (IOSA) wholly-owned subsidiary Duos Technologies ("duostech"), a provider of intelligent security analytical technology solutions, has been awarded a contract for the first phase of a Rail Undercarriage Screening System research grant funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T). This contract is the first phase of a multi-phased approach that aims to advance the state of the Company's technology currently used for freight railcar undercarriage screening to Mass Transportation Rail Systems and is expected to expand the capabilities of duostech's Vehicle Undercarriage Examiner (vue(TM)) system.
The vue(TM) system is part of Duos Technologies' Rail Inspection Portal technology, the Company's latest innovation that combines several of its intelligent technologies and sub-systems that utilize the Company's proprietary analytical algorithms to process and evaluate a broad range of data from multiple sensor technologies.
A critical component of the DHS mission includes securing transportation systems from attacks using explosives. This includes the detection of explosive threats as well as providing information to assist with interdiction efforts to mitigate potential threats. In order to meet these challenges, new real-time detection tools are necessary to rapidly alert operators to the presence of physical anomalies consistent with explosive threats, associate these anomalies with locations within a rail car's undercarriage, and synthesize and disseminate pertinent information to operational support staff so they can make better informed decisions, expeditiously.
"We are excited to have been selected to participate in this opportunity and are poised to continue to demonstrate the ability to adapt our intelligent technologies, processes, and delivery to meet challenging customer needs," stated Felix Krupczynski, EVP & GM for ISA Duos Technologies. "Our solutions address specific challenges to rail security for not only the mass transit market, but for all transportation industry security requiring enhanced inspection and detection."
Gianni Arcaini, Chairman and CEO of ISA Duos Technologies, stated, "This contract award further validates our technology as being mission critical in high security analysis applications. We believe there is a huge market opportunity for our suite of intelligent security analytical technology solutions in the rail market, and in several other sectors as well."
