Evolv Technology, a leading developer of modular personnel screening solutions, today announced that it has closed a technology development agreement with In-Q-Tel (IQT), the investor that identifies innovative technology solutions to support the missions of the U.S. Intelligence Community. Through this partnership, Evolv Technology will further develop its modular, scalable threat detection systems for a variety of personnel inspection applications.

Evolv’s high speed, solid state systems utilize modular, flat panel millimeter wave antenna panels fused with data from supporting sensors, enabling flexible, high-throughput threat detection applications. The system uses compressive sensing and various feature-based detection techniques to deliver world-class threat and contraband detection.

“In today’s constantly changing threat environment, we’re excited to work with In-Q-Tel to bring flexible personnel screening systems to the field,” said Evolv Technology CEO Mike Ellenbogen. “We’re developing modular solutions to help detect person borne threats with a dynamic physical security screening system that can quickly adapt to changing threat profiles.”

“Evolv Technology’s visionary approach and proven product experience makes them a strong partner” said Simon Davidson, Managing Partner at IQT. “The company’s innovative technology addresses important requirements in the government market and we’re pleased to help facilitate its continued development.”
