LIBERTY DEFENSE ANNOUNCES AWARD OF HEXWAVE™ SYSTEMS AT THE NEW TERMINAL ONE AT JFK FOR AVIATION WORKER SCREENING

Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd.'s Hexwave systems will be installed at aviation worker screening checkpoints at The New Terminal One at JFK International Airport, a new all-international terminal, which will open in phases beginning in 2026. The contract was awarded in collaboration with K2 Security Screening Group, a national leader in aviation security that is building a large state-of-the-art screening checkpoint at New Terminal One. The Hexwave units will be used at aviation worker checkpoints and K2 will install and provide operator training and support.

Following the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) National Amendment on Aviation Worker Screening, the airport and its terminal operations are required to implement on person screening technologies for aviation workers that provide a broad range of threat and explosive detection capabilities.

Implementation of Hexwave within the New Terminal One will enable fast, contactless threat detection, enhancing security while streamlining the screening experience. Using millimeter wave technology, advanced 3-D imaging and artificial intelligence, Hexwave can detect both metallic and non-metallic threats -- including liquid, plastic and powder explosives, 3-D-printed weapons, and other prohibited items.

This high-throughput, walkthrough system delivers automated, real-time detection with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. Designed for scalability across airports, public venues, government facilities and commercial environments, Hexwave represents a transformative advancement in security screening. By combining speed, precision and a seamless user experience, Hexwave is positioned to set a new industry standard for next-generation safety technology, enhancing public security worldwide.

"We're leading the transformation of security screening through next-generation technology that delivers both safety and scalability," said Bill Frain, chief executive officer of Liberty Defense. "The integration of our Hexwave platform represents an important step toward modernizing threat detection across aviation, critical infrastructure and commercial markets. With its AI-driven, contactless design and ability to detect a wide range of concealed threats, Hexwave offers a powerful solution to meet the evolving demands of global security."

"K2 Security Screening Group is proud to partner with Liberty Defense and New Terminal One to advance the shared goal of enhancing aviation security," said Kathy Neiswender, president of K2 Security Screening Group. "The Hexwave system aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering best-in-class security solutions, offering a powerful capability to address evolving threats and strengthen overall airport safety."

"At The New Terminal One, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of safety and unmatched convenience for all who work and travel through our terminal," said Marisa Von Wieding, vice-president of operations, New Terminal One. "Partnering with Liberty Defense and K2 Security Screening Group allows us to implement cutting-edge technology that sets a new benchmark for aviation security in the United States."

The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's $19-billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which includes two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation centre,and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.

The company previously announced the sale on Oct. 28, 2025, and is now able to disclose the location through this release.
