Implant Sciences gets Army pact

Implant Sciences Corp., a Wakefield medical technology company that also develops devices to detect explosives, said today that it received a $3.6 million contract from the Army for three explosives detection systems.

The systems, which can detect trace amounts of explosives from a short-range standoff distance, are expected to be used in fixed locations or in remote areas with the assistance of a mobile robot-mounted system. (AP)
