Patriot One Technologies Inc. is a developer of a revolutionary award-winning concealed weapons detection system. On May 2nd the Patriot's President and CTO Dinesh Kandanchatha provided an update of the company's accomplishments in the first quarter of 2017 and the milestones are expected to be achieved in the upcoming quarter, "The start of 2017 was marked by a number of significant events for the Company. First was our installation of demonstration showcases involving several core verticals targeted by Patriot One through 2017 and 2018, including hospitality/gaming, entertainment, and houses of worship. Beyond effectively demonstrating Patriot One's technology, these showcases garnered significant interest from local media and the broader security community. Additionally, these live installations provided valuable opportunities to further refine Patriot One's cognitive microwave radar system in real-world conditions. Over an extended field trial period, the system successfully and consistently detected concealed weapons with zero false negatives and a false positive rate of less than 5 percent.
Next, Patriot One was honored to receive a prestigious award from the Security Industry Association (SIA) for best new counter terrorism/force protection product, as evaluated by security leaders from some of the world's largest security organizations. The SIA presented the award during the ISC West conference in Las Vegas - one of America's largest security technology conferences. During the event, the Company also hosted two informative panel sessions, which included representatives from the Company's newly announced business affiliates at Mutual Safe of South Africa and the University of North Dakota.
To support Patriot One's central aim to deliver products in Q4 2017, the Company has intensified pre-sales preparations as demonstrated by a significant backlog of pending orders. In fact, as of today, Patriot One's purchase commitments exceed the Company's 2017 target production volume."
