LAS VEGAS, Dec. 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breaking news from Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB:UNDT) could send tremors through the homeland defense community as a new realm of protection appears to have emerged literally under foot. Based on successful field tests, Universal Detection's partner in border security systems, Precision Sensors Instrumentation (PSI), was able to discern between human and vehicle traffic well in advance of the perimeter of an airbase, positioning it as an optimal sensor to use for border protection.
Given the enormous demand expected for border security technology, a new entry or better mousetrap is an intriguing proposition. One that is as effective -- and passive -- as the PSI sensor could well be optimal. Its integration into Universal Detection's border security systems is clearly a boon to the company's fortunes.
It also appears that the possibilities for a seismic sensor may be oxymoronically borderless as the company expects the technology to be deployed by private firms too, opening sales up to a broad range of zone security needs. One must look no further than the closest tall fence to consider where else the seismic sensor could be utilized.
It's clear that an interest and national investment in homeland defense and domestic borders are unlikely to wane. Respected forecasts assert growth instead. As investors ponder opportunities in the space, one would think that potential game-changing technologies in a lucrative sector would top the list of companies to review.
