A technology firm behind apparatus aimed at foiling terror plots has secured a near £5 million Government contract.
Kromek Group is supplying “biological threat detection systems” to help UK security services in a three-year deal.
The agreement, worth £4.9 million, will begin in December, with NETPark-based Kromek revealing it includes an option for extended maintenance services.
The Sedgefield firm is known for its wearable nuclear radiation detector kits, which are used by security forces to identify ‘dirty bombs’.
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.
