EXCLUSIVE: $3B Founder Reveals His Next Big Idea

Safety Tech

Brett Adcock is pioneering advanced security technologies to enhance safety in public spaces. He discusses a new startup focused on imaging weapons in environments like schools, stadiums, and hospitals. This technology, which uses non-ionizing radio waves, can detect weapons from a distance without relying on metal detection 1. Brett explains the urgency of this innovation, noting the increasing severity of accidents as human longevity improves 2.

Over a long enough period of time, as longevity improves for humans, the severity to having an accident and dying is going to be higher and higher.

The system, developed with NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, aims to revolutionize how we approach public safety.

   

Weapon Detection

Brett's approach to detecting concealed weapons involves cutting-edge imaging technology. He highlights the alarming frequency of school shootings, with hundreds of thousands of guns entering schools annually 3. By leveraging high-frequency radar similar to Wi-Fi, his team can penetrate clothing and bags to identify hidden weapons 4.

It's like airport security, but you can do it 50 meters away, and you can do it like a camera.

This innovation is crucial in addressing the crisis of school shootings, which have exponentially increased in recent years.
