ICx Technologies, Inc. ™ –ICx develops and manufactures advanced sensor technologies that find uses in security and non-security sectors, including CBRNE detection technologies for homeland security, military, and commercial application sectors.
ICx Technologies is a leader in the development and integration of advanced sensor technologies for homeland security, force protection and commercial applications. Its proprietary sensors detect and identify chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive threats, and deliver superior awareness and actionable intelligence for wide-area surveillance, intrusion detection and facility security. By leveraging its unparalleled technical expertise, ICx pioneers the integration of these advanced sensors into effective security and commercial solutions.
Handheld Explosives Detectors, Bomb Sniffers, Sensitivity of a Dog’s Nose, Integrated
Fido handheld explosives detectors, at less than three pounds in weight, utilize proprietary amplifying fluorescence polymers (AFP) to detect trace levels of explosive materials in parts per quadrillion (ppq). This level of detection is comparable to that of highly trained explosives detection canines. Unlike the alternative, the exquisite sensitivity of the Fido supports detection of both explosive vapor and particulates without the need to modify the system in any way. This unique design enables previously unheard of functionality for explosives detection equipment.
The Fido XT™ can be easily integrated as a payload onto robotic vehicles for remote explosives detection applications.
Integration, Robotic, Explosives Detector, Vapor - Fido OnBoard™
The Fido OnBoard™, which employs ultrasensitive vapor detection, is the world’s smallest explosives detector for robotic integration. The combined Fido-robot systems now available are capable of locating explosive devices and subsequently disarming them, using on-board, robotic capabilities.
When fully integrated, only the Fido sensor head and a separate communications box are attached to the robot. In a partial integration, the entire handheld Fido system is inserted as a payload. Either way, the Fido detection results appear on the robot’s operator control unit (OCU). And, no matter which integration model is chosen, the Fido sensor can be removed and utilized for general handheld detection operations.
Unmanned, Mobile Surveillance Platform; integration with Radars, Cameras, Sensors, The Virtual Fence, Networked - Cerberus™
Cerberus™ provides a fully customizable, mobile sensor tower suitable for rapid deployment wherever unmanned surveillance or communication is required. Alone, a Cerberus unit can provide the information needed for a specific region at a given time. Networked, multiple Cerberus towers form their own mesh network, communicating autonomously with each other to act as the ideal virtual fence solution.
Due to its mobility and ease of deployment, Cerberus towers can be placed in a given location or moved as the situation requires. The network infrastructure at the heart of the system manages all gathered data and transmits it to a command and control center.

Radio Detection And Ranging
- The ABC's Of Radar - Radio Detection And Ranging. »
The word radar is an acronym taken from Radio Detection And Ranging.
Robot-Integrated Explosives Detection
- Robot-Integrated Explosives Detection »
Due to the dramatic impact the threat of explosive devices has on the public, explosives continue to be a favored weapon of terror and destruction used by criminals and terrorists.
Handheld Explosives Detectors
- ICx Technologies Awarded $1 Million by DHS to Adapt Fido® XT Handheld Explosives Detector for Maritime Security and Screening »
Explosive Detectors Enhanced to Protect Large-Scale U.S. Ports and Vessels.
Infrared Perimeter Protection
- Some Common IR (Infrared) Applications »
IR (Infrared) Camera Technology or thermal imaging has an abundance of applications in the modern world. Some of the most notable include building inspection, electrical/mechanical inspection, surveillance and searching for buried objects.
Infrared Technology
- IR (Infrared) Spectral Bands and Performance »
The word “infrared” refers to a broad portion of the electromagnetic spectrum: everything between visible light and microwaves.
Perimeter Security
- Multilayered Perimeter Surveillance for Airports »
Slew-to-Cue - This approach includes a combination of sensors such as imaging cameras, thermal imagers and radars.
Radar Operating Frequency
- Radar Operating Frequency »
The selection of a radar’s operating frequency is generally the result of a trade-off analysis that considers desired detection range, weather and clutter environment, available aperture size, properties of targets of interest and cost of RF components.
Radars
- Radar Performance In Rain »
Radar (RAdio Detection And Ranging) devices operate in the Radio Frequency (RF) band typically in UHF (300 MHz) through W-band (110 GHz) or higher. Radar detection devices are affected by water in the atmosphere, although radar to a much lesser extent than other detection technologies such as Laser, InfraRed and Video.
Radio Detection And Ranging
- Radar Terminology For The Layman »
The radar concept is a very simple one: throw packets of energy (traveling at the speed of light) in a known direction and time how long it takes for echoes of those packets to get back.
Security Cameras
- Range Performance Modeling »
The Night Vision Thermal Imaging Systems Performance Model, or NVTherm, is an extremely useful tool that is commonly used to calculate range performance, which is the distance upon which a given thermal imager can produce an image of a given target.
