Implant Sciences Joins SOSSEC – Consortium of Leaders in Security & Defense Technologies
Opportunity to Work Collaboratively With the US Army
WILMINGTON, MA–(Marketwire -03/06/12)- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC.PK – News) (Pinksheets: IMSC.PK – News), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security markets, announced today that it has become a member of System of Systems Security (SOSSEC) Consortium, a key defense and security industry consortium. SOSSEC’s purpose is to assist Consortium members, such as Implant Sciences, in meeting the US Army’s mission requirement to provide decisive and effective support in response to natural and man-made threats to the nation and its military forces.
SOSSEC enjoys a special working arrangement with the US Army’s Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), which recognizes the Consortium as a provider of R&D for Homeland Defense programs for the next five years. Implant Sciences, along with other Consortium members, will receive the support of SOSSEC in business development, contracting, invoicing, product delivery, and interfacing with the US Department of Defense. The prime technology and deployment focus of SOSSEC is in Homeland Security solutions, force protection, and critical infrastructure protection.
“As a member of SOSSEC we will be working jointly with the companies, thought leaders, and technology developers who are shaping the future of security solutions for defense. The Consortium works closely with the US government to accelerate the development of critical new technologies into deployable products,” stated Glenn D. Bolduc, President and CEO of Implant Sciences. “This is an opportunity for us to work directly with the US military to provide our explosives trace detection equipment, while continuing to develop next-generation technologies to meet our nation’s defense needs.”
