Andrew McKinnon, CEO of BlastGard®, said, “Over the past year the company has been diligently developing new products that leverage our core technology and that can be niche marketed thereby significantly reducing the long sales cycle we have faced in the past. We have identified two primary markets for this product, (a) airports and (b) rail transport hubs and stations which of course history has shown to be the most vulnerable to bomb and/or IED attack. We have positioned this product to meet the demand in these markets. Effective security includes not only deterrent and preventive measures but all efforts to mitigate casualties, damage, and disruption. The MBR Gard Cart is an ideal pre-incident security technology for airport and rail transport security when dealing with bomb threats and suspicious objects or packages. The opportunity to reduce the “downtime” and mitigate the threat is critical for a busy airport or rail transport facility and therefore further validates the need for this exciting new product. Jim Gordon and his team have designed and built this device based on input from various Airport Bomb Squads, and initial reaction to the concept has been very positive.”

Jim Gordon stated, “Based on our initial market research and response from our prospective client base, we expect to generate significant near term revenues from this new product. It is estimated that an airport incurs losses of approximately $150,000 for every minute the airport is shut down and therefore a product such as this that may reduce “downtime” by even a few minutes presents an incredible “Value Proposition to all airports.”
