The AB-WDS is Athena Security's advanced radar imaging solution designed specifically for ambulance bay and emergency intake environments. It enables continuous, non-invasive weapons screening of patients arriving on stretchers without disrupting the flow of emergency care.
Overview
The AB-WDS uses Advanced Radar Imaging Technology to safely detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats on patients arriving by stretcher. It is purpose-built for emergency intake environments where speed and safety are both critical.
Key Benefits
- Designed specifically for stretchers and emergency intake
- Detects both metal and non-metal threats
- Non-ionizing — safe for continuous use around patients and staff
- Fast throughput with real-time imaging
- Guided alerts to direct staff response
Safety
The AB-WDS operates at ≤2 W/m², well below established public safety limits. It uses non-ionizing energy that does not alter cells or DNA, making it safe for continuous deployment in healthcare environments including around patients, staff, and sensitive medical equipment.
