The power to see the invisible was once limited to the realms of mystics and weird fiction, but today it is a reality. The technology that allows us to see what is hidden gives us a powerful weapon in the fight against terrorism, allowing police, military and civilian security staff to identify and neutralise potential threats. These threats are continually evolving because terrorism takes many forms; from a lone wolf wielding a knife to a network of terrorist cells plotting a mass bombing, technology aids and complements intelligence gathering and intervention. The machines used to see the invisible now employed in the security world were often developed from science initially used in healthcare.
Radiation detection technology has transformed healthcare and is doing the same for security, protecting the public against conventional weapons and radiological materials.
Kromek Group plc designs, develops and produces x-ray and gamma-ray imaging and radiation detection products for the medical, CBRNe security, Homeland Security and civil nuclear radiation detection markets.
