About the Company

Smiths Detection Group

Produces trace-detection sensors for security

Smiths Detection provides sensors and systems that detect weapons, explosives, and other contraband to improve global security. Its product lineup centers on trace and material-detection technology used in security screening—devices and integrated systems that scan for traces or signatures of dangerous materials and raise alerts for operators, often connected to data analysis and monitoring software. The company differentiates itself through its long corporate heritage, its integrated approach spanning detection hardware, software, and global service support, and by expanding capabilities via strategic acquisitions (notably Morpho Detection) and focused maintenance/refurbishment services through Med Graphix to extend the life of deployed equipment. The goal is to help governments and organizations protect people and assets by delivering reliable detection solutions and ongoing lifecycle support that keep security gear operating over time.
