Cover (Cover AI) is a defense tech startup developing AI-powered terahertz imaging radar systems to detect concealed weapons at a standoff distance, originally derived from NASA Jet Propulsion Lab technology. The company is focused on deploying this technology in K-12 schools across the U.S. to identify weapons hidden in bags or under clothing before they enter school grounds.
“"I found a way to do everything very cheaply in silicon and chips. And reduce the price by like 90%, make it much more scalable, make it work better... the fabrication times for designing our own chips and getting them out took about a year... We had a special fabricator in Europe that had to go make them."”
