Ali, MM's are taking this down on p*ss poor volume... less than £10k traded!!!

Sit tight when the DARPA deal hits the doormat this will fly IMO, great value at these levels.

well here we are again trotters and kmk is down quite heavily today as well?

Am I the only one who can see that today's RNS deal with Canberra is a pre-cursor to the DARPA deal, and more than that will open commercial channels that Kromek alone could only dream of?

"Under the distribution agreement, CANBERRA will be the exclusive global distributor for four product families from Kromek's nuclear portfolio (excluding a limited number of territories where Kromek has pre-existing distributor networks). As an established provider and market leader in nuclear instrumentation, CANBERRA has a wide range of products, strong customer relationships and extensive channels to market that Kromek expects to leverage"

How is this RNS anything other than amazing news.. WTF is going on with the SP?

Anyone have any ideas?

The need to deliver 1000 units by March so it can't be long until DARPA confirm the contract.Another great RNS, very solid company, out of the limelight at the moment but that will change soon enough

Interesting approach to field trials! Deal must be getting closer.....

A NUCLEAR SCAVENGER HUNT: START USES STUDENTS TO TEST NEW RADIATION DETECTING TECHNOLOGY
NOVEMBER 30, 2015 TRMADDEN LEAVE A COMMENT
by Tristan Madden

On November 20, the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, hosted an unusual scavenger hunt, asking students to use specialized devices to map out hot spots of natural radiation on campus.

Students lined up in front of a table outside of STAMP to receive a device that, at first glance, looks like an every day smartphone. But this device, the Kromek D3S, doesn’t make calls or take pictures; it detects radiation.

Students also received a sheet of paper with a series of cryptic clues written on it, each one directing them to a natural and benign source of radiation on campus. The goal for the scavenger hunt participants was to use the Kromek D3S to map out the natural radiation present across the University of Maryland campus, according to the proctor of the scavenger hunt Gary Ackerman. Students who managed to do this quickly and effectively won prizes such as IPads and Kindle Fire tablets.

But START, a research center at the University of Maryland sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, wasn’t simply letting students play around with expensive technology. The goal of the scavenger hunt was to test the efficacy of the Kromek. By putting it into the hands of a couple dozen students, START hoped to see how this brand new technology performed in the field.

Because of its primary function, one might assume the Kromek is like a Geiger counter, but that is not a fair comparison. Ackerman said, “If a Geiger counter is like one of those old bulky cell phones from the 90’s, the Kromek is a smart phone.”Ackerman explained that a Geiger counter can only detect very high levels of radiation, but the Kromek is capable of identifying even the most minute traces of radiation in a given area.

Michael Egnoto, the supervisor of the scavenger hunt, said that aside from evaluating new technology, mapping out this natural radiation helps START better understand how radiation is distributed around us, which he said has long term benefits for society.

“Long term, this helps us improve technologies that may be sensitive to certain types of radiation. Some electronics for instance, can become unreliable when around even naturally occurring levels of radiation.”

Why does no one know about this company, they are on the cusp of winning a multi million $$ deal with DARPA??!!

[rochdale] 06/11/2015 21:45

Based on the fact the detector is the D35 then the Darpa contract is in the bag. Just a question of confirmation of size of order hxxps://youtu.be/qOjenkeKWz8

Good news today and a tip on-line.

The big one in the US still to come.

Good time to buy.

[bsharman3] 29/10/2015 13:22

should we hear something about the DARPA contract soon?

[leedsu36] 28/10/2015 10:26

Patrick as always the horse has bolted,do you really think you'd know where we are if we didn't want you to know,now get to work,lol.......time is money.

[lachlan macquarrie] 27/10/2015 15:38

Note the following question.Has this equity been pumped by a certain individual,recently, who uses multiple avatars?

[lachlan macquarrie] 27/10/2015 15:35

I take note of all the trades in red,today,so far.

[lachlan macquarrie] 27/10/2015 15:28

I take note,

Was on the toplist earlier today
Now disappeared!!!
This requires MUCH patience!!

[pistonbroke1] 23/10/2015 10:37

Starting to wake up for next push.

[trotterstrading] 21/10/2015 21:46

Anyone have a view on the lack lustre share price given the DoD news?

[techno20] 11/10/2015 09:48

Sounds like they are working on an expected order of 10,000 units. Not sure if this is a one off, or gradual roll-out over a number of years.

There are an estimated 900,000 law enforcement officers in the U.S, so plenty of scope for uplift!!

Presumably there are also software / monitoring revenues on top of the cost per unit. Anyone know how the overall financial model works and how significant these are?

Volume coming through now. Gap to 34.5p to fill.
