Deterrence, Detection and Autonomous Responses that Can Save Minutes and Lives

Every second counts. What if there was more time to react, time to take cover, time to lock down, time to respond, and time to neutralize? Active shooter events unfold at a blistering pace. Taking control of every precious moment between the first detection of a firearm and taking action will mean the difference between life and death.

Firearm detection is now included as part of RAD’s advanced artificial intelligence (AI) software suite, running on all RAD autonomous response security robots.

With RAD’s firearm detection, your facility or school can respond and react to a potential shooter incident before a shot is fired. Because of RAD’s advanced AI-based software and hardware solution, responses and alerts are fully customizable. Alert local security, law enforcement, automatically lock electronic doors, and triggering alarms are all standard responses for RAD devices.

We can give our schools, facilities, students, and citizens those valuable extra seconds or minutes when the RAD security robot autonomously detects, responds and alerts.

Time to React, Time to Respond

Law enforcement, safety, and security experts agree that reducing response times is critical in executing an effective response to what may be an active shooter incident. With a RAD firearm detection system, you’ll shave precious minutes off your response time and safety precautions can go into effect sooner, and law enforcement can respond appropriately with valuable information regarding the firearm suspect, possibly before shots are fired.

A standout feature of RAD’s Firearm Detection technology is its robust Double Authentication system designed to significantly enhance reliability and reduce false positives. This advanced feature includes two stages of verification before an alert is issued, ensuring that the system only acts upon true positive detections. When a potential firearm is detected, the device immediately captures images and sends them to the RAD Cloud for comparison against an extensive and continuously updated library of firearm models. This meticulous verification process ensures that only genuine threats trigger alerts, thereby increasing overall system reliability and user trust.

“RAD’s firearm detection solution may be that extra advantage the school needs, we all need, if an active shooter event is about to unfold.”

– E. Troy McCanna, former FBI Agent, Multi-Jurisdictional Task Force Coordinator/Supervisor, joined RAD in early 2022

Firearm Detection that Produces Autonomous Responses

The detection of a firearm still isn’t enough to effectively avert an active shooter event. Facilities and schools need the extra advantage of an autonomous response from the detection device, and RAD has that and more. RAD’s entire line of safety and security robots including ROSA™, RIO™, RADDOG™ and AVA™ are all enabled with firearm detection AI analytics plus the ability to respond without the need for, and the possible delay in summoning human respondents.
