Guardian Technologies and AutoClear Announce Successful Completion of Pinpoint Integration for Baggage Screening Security System

Guardian Technologies International, Inc. (OTCBB:GDTI), innovators of groundbreaking threat detection technology with critical and immediate applications for the homeland security and healthcare markets, today announced the successful integration of its PinPoint automated threat detection software with the AutoClear baggage scanner system. AutoClear is an industry-leading manufacturer of a comprehensive line of x-ray security and metal weapons detectors used for screening baggage and packages in airports and other venues.

The integration of PinPoint and AutoClear is the successful culmination of a landmark agreement between Guardian and AutoClear announced on November 8, 2007. Guardians proprietary PinPoint technology substantially enhances AutoClears ability to detect concealed firearms, explosives and other threats.

The PinPointTM Threat Detection System positions the AutoClear dual-energy, single view x-ray scanner as the first scanner in the market with a proven turnkey automated detection capability for explosives, guns and ammunition, said Michael Trudnak, Chief Executive Officer of Guardian Technologies International. The technical staffs at both companies worked diligently to uniquely configure AutoClears scanner to optimize the information provided to PinPoint. As a result we have been able to maximize the performance of PinPoint automated detection capabilities.

Achievement of this technology milestone accomplished a major strategic initiative that will advance Guardians national and international market branding and opportunities. It provides a lower-cost turnkey solution, with greater automated threat detection capability, than the Advanced Technology scanners offered by competitors.

The achievement also positions Guardian to capitalize on AutoClears extensive international distribution network of over 60 independent agents and distributors worldwide. Further, the ability to deliver an integrated solution has positioned Guardian as a recognized bidder for all Russian airport opportunities. Russia has an approved development plan for the construction or upgrade of thirty-six airports. Guardian will be an invited bidder on each of these opportunities.

In expectation of the completion of this integration project, Guardian has been aggressively pursuing international opportunities. To date, we have submitted proposals to three Russian airports and one government agency totaling approximately $12 million. In addition, we have submitted a proposal to a European country to outfit their embassies throughout Latin America. The initial proposal covers three countries, but could potentially expand to a potential contract value of approximately $3.5 million.

About Guardian Technologies International

The impact of Guardians industry-first computer aided detection technologies are immediate and profound for helping to eliminate human error in both the Homeland Security and the Medical Industry sectors. The Companys software solutions can be seamlessly installed to compliment existing imaging devices, such as baggage scanners and medical MRI, to scan the contents of any image and immediately identify items of interest not easily discernable by the human eye.

  • Airport Security: Guardians technology compliments and enhances current-generation baggage x-ray scanners with the ability to automatically and effectively detect, locate, and identify explosives and other types of threats.
  • Disease Identification: Existing medical imaging devices used in Computer Aided Detection (CAD) are further improved with Guardians auto-diagnostic ability to detect anomalous tissue (e.g., tumors) and other potential disease states or conditions.
  • Technology-Independence: Because Guardians technologies utilize and process the actual image output generated by the original imaging systems, virtually any existing or future imaging device can be upgraded with Guardians products, delivering an instant, multi-billion dollar potential customer base with no competition.

Guardians technology and product development partnerships include a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRDA) with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security- Science and Technology Directorate.
