"We will showcase our first product, the P.Eye stand-off explosives detector, which is the first commercial solution to assist military troops and security personnel in finding and identifying hidden bombs at safe distances. Portendo's P.Eye will have a significant impact on security, both for civilians and for security personnel employed to clear areas from threats", says Pierre Strömbeck, managing director of Portendo.

Terror threats have become a real concern for police forces, military troops and civilians. Portendo's P.Eye assists police forces and security personnel in detecting and identifying explosives threats and harmful chemicals from a safe distance. It also increases safety and speed of advancing military troops over unknown territories.

Financing from EU and Swedish Vinnova

Portendo's breakthrough technology has been recognized by several sources of research funding. The European Union has within the seventh framework program decided to finance a research project initiated by Portendo and FOI (Swedish Defence Research Agency). Vinnova (Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems) is, as previously communicated, funding another project where Portendo participates alongside FOI, SAAB and several other research institutes.
