Kromek Group PLC (AIM:KMK) said it has won a repeat order worth US$695,000 from a US federal entity for its D3S-ID wearable nuclear radiation detector.
The order is to be delivered in the coming months, the company said, following on from a US$1.6m two-year contract from the same customer last September.
Able to detect radiological threats such as dirty bombs, radioactive contamination and smuggling of radioactive substances, the D3S-ID is designed to be used by first responders, armed forces, border security and other CBRN experts.
Kromek believes it is one of the fastest and most accurate gamma neutron radioisotope identification devices (RIIDs) on the market.
"Being awarded a repeat order for this product from this important customer is a great endorsement," said chief executive Dr Arnab Basu.
"With the volatility of the current geopolitical environment, we are receiving heightened demand for our CBRN solutions, from new and existing customers, as governments become increasingly aware of the need to enhance their real-time threat monitoring. We believe that our solutions are best placed to provide them with this capability and, accordingly, we expect to receive further orders for our nuclear security products in the near term."
