Detection tech innovator Kromek has landed a UK Government contract worth £4.9m to create systems that identify biological threats.
The County Durham-based firm said it will start work next month on the three-year programme that comes with the possibility of extended maintenance services after that period. In a brief update to investors offering few details of the contract, Kromek said the deal would see it develop and supply the systems which could identify infectious diseases.
It comes hot on the heels of a separate contract with a repeat customer in the US for its wearable 'dirty bomb' detectors. Kromek's D3M personal radiation detector is designed to guard against the threat of nuclear terrorism and the illicit movement of nuclear materials.
