BackCounterfeit Defeat
Counterfeit materials pose a severe threat, costing the global economy an estimated $1.3 trillion annually across various sectors, from fasteners to microchips and artwork. The 2022 Defense Industrial Base (DIB) security report underscores the urgent need to protect the U.S. defense supply chain from compromised components, which can infiltrate and jeopardize defense systems. Military spending to address this issue exceeds $2.3 billion per year.
Our technology offers a compelling solution, with a phased development strategy leading to deployment. We expect to scan and acquire data in less than a microsecond.
Beyond verifying the provenance of microchips and embedded circuits, our technology can also perform non-contact fingerprint reading and trace detection for explosives, nuclear, or other threats, enhancing forensics in weapons of mass destruction scenarios. This multi-faceted approach not only combats counterfeiting but also strengthens security across critical areas such as rapid screening for threats and forensics.
