Athena Security has deployed AI-assisted x-ray screening systems in critical infrastructure facilities nationwide since 2018. Our technology is trusted by federal government clients including the U.S. Army and Air Force. We maintain full NDAA compliance.
Our AI-powered platform continuously monitors every scan for suspicious items. The system detects both organic and inorganic materials, identifies potential threats automatically, and alerts security personnel only when genuine risks appear.
Our AI x-ray scanner uses computer vision to analyze baggage, packages, and mail passing through security screening. Government buildings and correctional facilities use this technology to detect weapons, explosives, and illegal substances.
The platform provides automated threat detection for firearms, knives, ammunition, explosives, and drugs. High resolution imaging combined with AI analysis differentiates hazardous materials from everyday objects. Security professionals receive instant alerts with visual verification.
Athena delivers capabilities other security solutions cannot match. Our platform addresses real-world challenges security personnel face while helping organizations meet federal compliance requirements.
Most weapons detection vendors lock you into proprietary equipment. That means limited choices and potential vendor dependence for years. Athena’s platform works with Apollo 500, Apollo 650, CEIA Opengate, Garrett, and Metrasens Ultra systems. You select hardware that matches your throughput requirements, budget constraints, and facility layout.
Athena is the only platform designed specifically around Department of Homeland Security best practices for patron screening. The system digitizes and enforces guidelines including documentation requirements, testing protocols, and secondary screening procedures. When auditors arrive, you have complete documentation.
We pioneered and patented technology that detects visitors attempting to bypass screening entirely. Traditional metal detectors only monitor the portal itself. Our computer vision algorithms monitor the entire screening area continuously. When individuals attempt to evade detection, security staff receive instant notifications. This proactive threat detection catches attempts other gun detection systems miss completely.
While competitors offer point solutions, Athena integrates weapons detection with visitor management, AI X-ray screening, telepresence security, and augmented reality alert glasses. When the X-ray system detects a threat, it automatically alerts AR glasses and triggers personalized hologram instructions. That integration creates layered security measures traditional systems cannot provide.

Government facilities face unique security requirements that balance public access with protection against evolving threats. Traditional x-ray screening systems require constant operator attention, creating vulnerabilities when security personnel handle multiple responsibilities simultaneously.
Incoming mail and packages arrive from unknown sources with potential for hidden weapons, explosives, or biological agents.
Our AI x-ray baggage scanner identifies suspicious items automatically and alerts operators before packages reach office areas.
Automated threat detection processes 400+ items hourly while operators manage visitor flow without sacrificing thoroughput.
Security personnel monitoring x-ray screens for eight-hour shifts miss threats due to attention lapses and visual fatigue.
AI continuously analyzes every scan with consistent accuracy, flagging potential threats so operators review only genuine concerns.
Government complexes with multiple entry points struggle to maintain consistent screening standards across all security checkpoints.
Centralized monitoring connects all x-ray security scanners to one dashboard for unified threat assessment and response coordination.
New threats like 3D-printed weapons, drone components, and novel explosive devices evade detection by conventional x-ray machines.
Our AI model updates continuously to identify emerging threats, including materials and configurations traditional systems don’t recognize.
Federal security standards require detailed logs of screening procedures, threat detections, and equipment testing for audits.
Automated documentation captures every scan, alert, and operator response with timestamps for DHS compliance and audit readiness.
Many government facility managers delay security upgrades, waiting for budget cycles or assuming current screening provides adequate protection. But every day without AI-enhanced detection exposes your facility to preventable threats. The consequences of outdated screening compound faster than annual appropriations address them.
Federal audits reveal gaps in facilities without AI screening. Agencies face mandatory improvement plans, delayed certifications, and budget reductions when procedures fall short of compliance standards.
Your facility faces major lawsuits when preventable threats reach occupied areas. Insurance carriers increase premiums annually and add coverage exclusions for buildings with documented security gaps.
Security incidents erode public trust in government services and create lasting concerns among employees. Building closures cost $50,000-$200,000 daily in lost productivity depending on facility size.
Modern detection is required for security clearances and federal contracts. Facilities with outdated screening lose opportunities for classified operations and partnerships requiring documented threat prevention.
We help government facilities across the country secure their entryways with AI-powered X-ray screening.
