Garrett's best-in-class 66-zone Paragon security detector includes revolutionary new features for ease of use, such as Zero Touch™ NFC capability and Ambiscan™ directional programming. "As Garrett enters our 60^th year of business in 2024, it is a great honor to have our latest, most technically advanced walk-through detector receive such a distinctive award," said Bob Podhrasky, Garrett's Senior Vice President and Director of Engineering.

"This is a significant recognition of a significant product," added Garrett CEO Steve Novakovich. "The Paragon name means 'perfect example,' and the Garrett Paragon was designed to address areas where other recent 'weapons detection' systems struggle. Small knives and some disassembled weapons are difficult for these screening systems to detect, but Paragon's superior detection helps security-minded operators get the most performance out of their security equipment."

Paragon's diverse program options and Quick-Q technology fit a wide range of perimeter security needs from high throughput stadium operations to critical high security applications.
