US DHS lab to evaluate Qylur Intelligent’s entry solution

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) will evaluate Qylur Intelligent Systems’ Qylatron Entry Experience Solution.

A cooperative research & development agreement (CRADA) to this effect has been signed between Qylur Intelligent Systems and TSL.

As part of the 18-month-long collaboration, TSL will test and evaluate Qylatron’s capabilities, operational models and detection at its facilities, a federal laboratory within the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center in the Atlantic International Airport in New Jersey.

DHS Lab will study the Qylatron Entry Experience Solution as a secure entry point to be used at airports and ground sites in the future.

The Qylatron Entry Experience Solution streamlines guest entry with an automated self-service process including guest interaction, access control, security scanning, and marketing and sponsorships. It comprises the Qylatron system and a suite of intelligent services including QyServe, QyFuse and QySafe.

TSL’s evaluation will be the first step in the CRADA collaboration between DHS S&T and Qylur.

Qylur Intelligent Systems founder and CEO Lisa Dolev said: "We are honored to embark on this milestone, collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security.

"Since the DHS and Qylur essentially share the same vision for secure entry points, we expect very positive outcomes resulting from this CRADA agreement."

DHS S&T establishes CRADAs as public-private partnerships designed to deploy security technologies.

The TSL works with developers of contraband detection products so that systems might achieve qualification by DHS components.
