New article on Kromek's New hand held

D5 RIID

The Art of Normal - from page 57

not been impressed by earlier videos/presentations of their handheld devices, dynamic they weren't! poor attempts! but, the tech is obviously very encouraging, just need to up the presentation of the products etc. i'm sure they will though.
at least they seem to be on an upwards curve for a change!

I’m hoping the biological pathogen detector won’t be just some side product, but rather the launch of the product with the accredited trial data and that it’s available for sale. Doesn’t seem to be much fanfare though for the launch of such an important machine to Kromek, so was wondering how important this exhibition is to the defence industry. Is it an important show - like in the car industry where they unveil the latest model with all eyes watching. Or some unimportant event

[aqc888] 11/8/2021 15:45

Thanks fanramp, I was referring to the information regarding the trial results to prove it all works. Hopefully they will release this information at the exhibition. Hopefully it will also be the product launch where orders can start being taken for the machine...

Looks like ship is sailing here to her in below 20p …..

Does anybody know whether the dsei exhibition is where defence companies release information about their latest products? Seems likely to me this is where the details of the biological pathogen detector will be exhibited. But there seems such little fanfare created by Kromek regarding the exhibition I’m doubting it will. I hope Kromek don’t dribble out details bit by bit regarding this detector, the CEO needs to show some showmanship and create some excitement... The date of the exhibition does seem to tie in with the date Simon Thompson suggested results would be released and my estimatation of when results would be ready

Relieved to see the share price seems to be stabilising at around 20p.

Bio Watch and BD21 are never long out of the news it seems.

The timing for Kromek's Patho detection systems couldn't come at a better time as far as the Dept Homeland Security are concerned.

"The DHS’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office has been working to fix the deficiencies since 2018, when it unveiled the Biological Detection for the 21st Century (BD21) program. This technology has also had problems, generating false alarms by confusing biological threat agents with common material such as pollen, soil, and diesel exhaust, according to the May GAO report."

Well the full testing for the DARPA spec units will have to be conducted in a secure bio lab installation such as Porton Down.
There's never been a specification mentioned as such of the actual pathogens it's designed to combat but it's always been described as ALL etc.
But it's very encouraging news and the MoD recently awarded contact opens many doors to full on UK testing before prototypes are sent to the States.

Mick/all - tests must have gone well if they are showcasing...
"We will also be showcasing our Bio Threat Detection System, which also detects the Covid-19 virus."

Defo not a time to sell now IMO.

[33mick] 10/8/2021 09:45

Doug, you could read from Kromek's Exhibition wording that they will be displaying a DARPA spec prototype at the event, a military rugidised unit intended to have 'full on Patho detection' capabilities.

The MoD have in effect financed a UK military version of the DARPA unit with their recent £400k contract and this project was well advanced towards the end of last year hence some confusion here when Kromek said field testing/trials were penciled in for early in the year.

Then they focused on the Covids+ prototypes.

""We will also be showcasing our Bio Threat Detection System, which also detects the Covid-19 virus.""

It will be very interesting to find out and see the publicity it gets, all the MoD and Gov and Military procurement bods will have first sight of one in the flesh and hear about its technology.

DSEI 2021 will put integration in the spotlight as the UK Ministry of Defence and the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and UK Strategic Command work to develop and maintain organic integration at all levels and across all domains.

As British forces modernise to meet the demands of the information age, they do so with the understanding that success on the future battlefield requires integration across land, sea, air, cyber and space. Under the theme of ‘Integrated Response to Future Threats’ DSEI 2021 will be shaped to support this strategic shift with input from industry, academia, international partners and delegates.

RIID - Radiation Isotope / Radioisotope Identification Device

"Radioisotope Identification Devices (RIIDs) are instruments that are designed to
determine the identity of radioactive materials by measuring the energy of the
emitted gamma rays. Law enforcement, customs, and other personnel are being
equipped with RIIDs as part of a national strategy to interdict illicit movement of
radioactive material. When radiation sources are detected by screening devices
such as radiation portal monitors or radiation pagers, RIIDs are used to
determine whether the source of radioactivity constitutes a high level threat.
Radiological emergency personnel, firefighters and other response personnel
also use RIIDs for situational assessment during radiological emergencies."

DSEI means 'defence & security exhibition international' & is the name of an exhibition held every two years. Not sure about RIID. 'D' is probably device.
