The Athena Weapons Detection System is a next-generation walkthrough metal detection and alerting platform that uses multiple sensors to pick up on the type, shape, and size of metal in transit. The system is 10x faster than legacy metal detectors and prevents false positives for metallic items like keys and water bottles while identifying threats as they pass through the system.

AUSTIN, Texas – After seeing carnage at mass shootings in Las Vegas and schools, Austin technology company Athena Security began developing a gun detection solution that would alert customers, security or law enforcement when a concealed weapon was detected. The thermal camera-based system visually alerts within seven seconds through text or existing security systems, helping customers, law enforcement and security see what’s going on, speak to those at the scene, and get help quicker.
While the company’s thermal detection system was originally created to prevent mass shootings in schools, it is now being used in workplaces and hospitals as well. It can detect a person’s body temperature, check for face covering and ask health screening questions to identify people who may have a fever or other condition.
