Smiths Detection technologies was featured as part of a layered security framework to help protect teams, staff, and visitors at the Super Bowl from a broad range of potential threats.  The systems includes handheld Multi-Mode Threat Detectors (MMTD) and Sabre 5000 units, both used to detect trace amounts of hazardous materials in the air, including explosives and toxic industrial chemicals.

Lance Roncalli, Managing Director, Americas, for Smiths Detection, said: “The Super Bowl is one of the most high-profile events in the world and our advanced threat detection technologies played a critical role in helping security personnel keep everyone safe.  Our systems are already used to secure many similar U.S. venues, and being chosen for this iconic game is a particular source of pride for us."

MMTD is a rugged, handheld device used in harsh environments for the rapid detection and identification of explosives, narcotics, toxic industrial chemicals and chemical warfare agents. The Sabre 5000 is a small, light handheld system used to screen for trace amounts of explosives, chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals or narcotics.
