Exhibit 99.1
Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. announces that an Exclusive License has been executed with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for multiple patents covering an advanced accelerator-detector complex for detection of hidden explosives
Covington, KY – September 22, 2011 – Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. (Valley Forge, OTCBB: VLYF) announces that an Exclusive License has been executed with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for multiple patents covering an advanced accelerator-detector complex for high efficiency detection of hidden explosives. Valley Forge along with technical oversight by LLNL assisted the Russian team in the development. This CRADA project provides opportunities for this technology to enhance U.S. border and transportation security, from explosives, to narcotics and nuclear detection systems for maritime and air cargo and border control.
The technical objectives of this Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA) project were: to develop, miniaturize, and automate the accelerator-detector complex for high efficiency detection of hidden explosives; software was also to be developed to run the explosives detection system and acquire and process data; and work was to be done to evaluate the signatures produced by the explosives detection system and evaluate its ability to detect explosives in checked baggage.
This project also contributes to the national need for technologies to quickly detect, identify, and mitigate the use of chemical and biological threat agents against U.S. civilian populations.
Detection of hidden explosives in airline checked baggage and cargo has become a priority for the U.S. Government and public. Development of an effective stationary Explosive Detection System (EDS), as proposed under this CRADA project, could be deployed to safeguard the U.S. air transportation infrastructure as well as for protecting any restricted access facility, including buildings, high-density offices, power plants and other controlled entry opportunities.
Potential commercial activity for Valley Forge Composite Technologies could result in the manufacturing and development of Explosive Detection Systems (EDS) for worldwide markets. It is envisioned that every package, container, or bag entering the U.S. could be examined using this technology. The primary customer for units is the Transportation Security Agency (TSA). The first users could be U.S. airports followed by worldwide airports; secondly ports for container screening followed by overnight shipping companies.
