RaySecur Advances $1.5M NSF-Funded AI Program for Terahertz Threat Detection with Launch of Digital Platform

Release of digital ecosystem coincides with the final phase of a National Science Foundation program to develop AI models for hidden threat and contraband detection using RaySecur's proprietary real-time terahertz imaging datasets

BOSTON, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RaySecur, the leader in real-time 4D T-ray (terahertz) security detection systems, today announced progress in a $1.5 million National Science Foundation (NSF) development program to create the world's first AI-based threat detection models trained on proprietary real-time terahertz video datasets

The program culminates in the launch of the RaySecur Digital Ecosystem Platform, a connected IoT fleet management and threat intelligence system designed to enhance contraband and concealed threat detection across the company's global network of deployed MailSecur terahertz imaging systems.

As organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats delivered through routine channels such as mail and sealed materials, the platform enables enterprise and government customers to aggregate insights across distributed security endpoints—enhancing image analysis, accelerating operational workflows, and providing real-time visibility into emerging threat patterns.

"With some enterprise customers now deploying close to 100 MailSecur systems across their organizations, we have a unique opportunity to leverage real-time T-ray imaging data from our proprietary hardware network to generate actionable threat intelligence" added Alex Sappok, Ph.D., CEO of RaySecur. "This launch marks the first step in our broader digital ecosystem to unlock advanced analytics, enhance detection, and integrate incident response and reporting that help organizations mitigate physical risk on a single platform."

The RaySecur Digital Ecosystem Platform features:

• Enterprise fleet visibility - Real-time monitoring across the entire MailSecur® fleet.
• Automated screening workflows - Streamlined screening, incident reporting, and evidence documentation and management.
• Continuous AI model improvement - Ongoing enhancement of concealed threat and contraband detection using proprietary terahertz data.
• Multimodal intelligence analysis - Fusion of terahertz and visual data to flag high-risk items.
• Network-wide threat visibility - Real-time insight into emerging contraband and threat patterns.
