Investigative Services Agencies may buy Intrepid Defense & Security Systems
Negotiations are underway, as ISA tries to expand beyond corporate investigation and risk management into the homeland security market; Intrepid’s LifeVision3D —capable of providing 3D images of autombile undercarriages as easily as it can IEDs — would help ISA leap ahead
Chicago, Illinois-based Investigative Services Agencies (ISA), known best for its corporate investigations and risk management work, is branching out into the homeland security sector. The company has announced that it is in negotiations to purchase Birmingham, Mississippi-based Intrepid Defense & Security Systems, itself known for manufacturing the LifeVision3D “holographic autostereoscopic secure three-dimensional display” — a system that combines advanced electronic and optics technology to provide a holographic view of automobile undercarriages, underwater environments, and other difficult to observe spaces. The technology was used most recently at Super Bowl XL, where it helped DHS monitor the 65,000 ticket holders crowding into Detroit’s Ford Field, but it can also be used to identify mines and IEDs.
“LifeVision3D is a technology that is now ready for commercial use in the private and government sector and is going into its revenue-generating phase. We are extremely confident that we can develop Intrepid Defense and LifeVision3D into multi-million-dollar revenue generators,” said ISA president James Miller. According to a company spokesman, ISA is also getting into the facial recognition business (though no details are being released at this time), and the company is in the final stages of tests for a bioterror safe room for the domestic market.
