The Security Network, a facilitator of security technology innovation through business collaboration and high-level relationship building, recently announced that two of its members have successfully established a business teaming agreement bringing together Cubic Security Systems Inc. (CSi), a subsidiary of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. and Mobile Detect Inc., the Ottawa, Canada-based developer of one of the world’s most advanced radiological detection technologies.

A purchasing, support and licensing agreement between Mobile Detect and CSi was announced on Tuesday, February 10 at the Canada Night Reception hosted by the Consul General of Canada, David Fransen. Under terms of the agreement, CSi will integrate and offer Mobile Detect¹s RadWatch radiological detection technology, capable of identifying faint traces of threat-agent radioactivity, to the worldwide transportation industry. CSi will first address the public transit market they currently serve. CSi is focused on making public transportation safer for both the patrons and first responders.

“This agreement provides Cubic exclusivity in offering Mobile Detect¹s radiological counter-terror technology to the global public transit market. We are pleased to partner with Cubic, a company with established worldwide market penetration and an unparalleled range of advanced transportation technologies,” said Dr. Robert McFadden, CEO of Mobile Detect.

Mobile Detect’s unique radiological surveillance technology measures radiation, distinguishes between non-threats (such as nuclear medicine patients) and illicit radioactive substances, and visually presents this information to security monitoring stations and first responders as well as to decision makers in real-time.

“With this exclusive partnership, we are complementing our core offerings by adding a previously unavailable but proven high-end radiation surveillance technology for transit. It will provide a critical layer of security and detection for customers worldwide. It further establishes Cubic’s commitment to not only making public transportation more convenient but safer,” said Walt Bonneau Jr., president & group general manager of CSi.
