RaySecur has announced an investment from IQT, a not-for-profit strategic investor for the US national security community and America’s allies. 

According to the company, IQT partners with companies advancing high-impact technologies that strengthen security and operational readiness in mission-critical environments.

This year, RaySecur launched MS400, a commercial 400 GHz T-ray security imaging system.

Powered by RaySecur’s proprietary T-ray technology platform, the company says that the MS400 delivers live-video security screening in both desktop and mobile battery-powered systems, is 10X smaller and 300X more sensitive than X-ray to detect low-density threats (powders, liquids and laced-materials) and does not generate harmful ionizing radiation. 

The investment reportedly reflects the growing importance of real-time, non-ionizing T-ray detection for uncovering concealed threats and contraband.

“We are pleased to welcome RaySecur to the IQT portfolio,” added Jon Chait, Managing Partner, IQT.

“Their 4D T-ray imaging technology represents an important innovation in security detection, enabling real-time, safe, non-ionizing screening for concealed threats and contraband.

RaySecur‘s track record of focusing on operational simplicity, safety and detection performance aligns with IQT’s mission to accelerate impactful commercial technology for the US national security community.”
