Symetrica is pleased to announce the hiring of Elliot Bodian as its Chief Operations Officer. Elliot will drive the scaling of Symetrica’s global operations as the company continues to grow at double digit pace with the introduction of new products in radiation detection and software.
 
Elliot has led teams in the US, UK, Ukraine and Costa Rica in companies ranging from startup – Warby Parker to global leaders in their market – United Technologies Fire Suppression. 
 
Commenting on Elliot’s hiring, Eric Zanin, CEO, stated “I am very excited to add Elliot to our global leadership team. He brings a wealth of business and operations experience to the company. His extensive experience in a variety of precision manufacturing environments will be instrumental as we deliver an increasing portfolio of products to the markets we serve.”

Symetrica continues to expand deployment of its industry leading radnuc detection RIDs to autonomous robot mission systems. We have recently fielded our VeriFinder attached to robot dogs and trialled them at the Barksdale Air Force base in the U.S. This complimentary merger of RID and robot, supports mission critical work in hazardous environments and dangerous missions without risking airmen in the process. Tablets are used to remote control the robot dog via an app which teams can use to make the dog sit, stand, walk, run, bark and growl.
 
These capabilities were showcased to 50 countries at the CSCM World Congress in Croatia.

The VeriFinder demonstrated is designed to locate, identify, and characterise radiological and nuclear (RN) material including special nuclear materials.

Symetrica is proud to have recently shipped its 75th Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) under the U.S. RPM Replacement Program.  These advanced technology monitoring systems will be operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) along the country’s most critical ports of entry.  Symetrica’s RPM is one of two systems approved for deployment in the U.S. and provides increased detection capabilities and dramatically reduced false alarms – enhancing security while improving operational efficiency for our border security officers. 

Symetrica has transformed its operations over the past two years to increase capacity to support CBP deployments and the adoption of high-performance RPMs around the world.  Doug Deihl, CCO and GM of Operations said, “We have invested in people, processes, and systems to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.  Our team has done an amazing job ramping up production and we are proud that our technology is being deployed at U.S. borders.” 

Symetrica is delighted to be attending the Counter Threat Symposium at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre from 5-7^th December 2023.  This collaborative event brings together government and industry experts together to foster the advancement of products and technology used to combat global terrorism. Please visit us at Stand #24 for in depth discussions about our Discovery  software platform, a high fidelity data fusion and common operating platform.  Additionally, our product experts will be available to discuss our radiation detection solutions including VeriFinder handhelds, modular mobile systems, backpacks and radiation portal monitors (RPMs).

Symetrica, in conjunction with its prime partner Leidos, has deployed two latest generation radiation portal monitors to the port of North Charleston, South Carolina. In 2021, Leidos and Symetrica were awarded one of two 100+ portal contracts to deliver these systems over the next 18 months.

This deployment is the final phase in a 10-year effort by Symetrica and DHS CWMD to upgrade the radnuc monitoring and detection capability on the U.S. borders and ports. These RPMs offer increased sensitivity to nuclear threats whilst minimising nuisance alarms due to natural background radiation and Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) shipments. The portals feature continual communication of system health and are the only systems to have active, continuous internal stabilization.

UK Government award contract for Symetrica’s VeriFinder Radioactive Isotope Identification Device (RIID)

Commenting on the award, Eric Zanin, CEO said “Our UK team has done an exceptional job demonstrating the superior performance of the Verifinder against a strong field of alternative systems.  The UK selection process has validated our belief that Symetrica delivers the right product for Border Force officers to screen for nuclear materials at ports of entry. We look forward to deploying these systems and providing world class support to the Border Force.”
