The company, a provider of advanced security and contraband detection systems, has created the new role of CCO to enable DSIC to capitalise on its unique and revolutionary non-intrusive inspection (NII) technology, to penetrate new global markets in port and border security, critical infrastructure protection, as well as many others.

Kevin is a recognised expert and commercial leader with proven success in the security NII sector; he has held leadership roles in market leading OEM companies in the field, such as Rapiscan and Smiths Detection. In addition to these roles, Kevin has been a pioneer establishing managed service government Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT) concession operations, in Kuwait and Mozambique, which provided innovative and robust ports and border NII security solutions across land, air and seaports.

“DSIC is extremely fortunate to welcome Kevin,” said Dwight Johnson, President and CEO of Decision Sciences. “With his experience and guidance, Decision Sciences is poised to solidify its leadership role in providing passive Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) systems across a variety of industries. Kevin will be an invaluable member of an already exceptional team that will bring value to our customers and to all DSIC stakeholders.”

When asked about his appointment Kevin said: “Decision Sciences is the leading global provider of charged particle (muon) tomography application engineering products and solutions. Undoubtedly, its Discovery system’s unique capabilities for security applications for NII, and its potential applications in other sectors with its passive (non-ionizing radiation) technology presents an exciting range of opportunities in areas such as cargo/container inspection for customs and border security, infrastructure, industrial engineering, and geological survey inspection as well as exploration to name but a few. I am very excited to join the outstanding DSIC team as we take advantage of our unique intellectual property (IP) and inherent artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to deliver invaluable and needed solutions to these sectors with a commercial focus.”

DSIC’s Chairman, Stuart J. Rabin noted: “The Board of Directors and the entire Decision Sciences team are thrilled to welcome a commercial leader of Kevin’s quality and experience, especially at this important inflection point in DSIC’s history. We have no doubt that Kevin will effectively build on the successful field deployments of the company’s Discovery system, and the many commercial opportunities already underway.” He continued: “Decision Sciences is the only company in the world to offer a passive charged particle NII system and will continue to leverage its real-world experience and its extensive and unique IP portfolio to enhance the ability of its customers to interdict dangerous and illicit contraband, and for various other industry applications as well.”
