Athena Security Product Features
AI Security
Athena Security delivers AI-powered entryway security across its full platform, using artificial intelligence to enhance weapons detection systems, decision-making, and operational efficiency. AI is embedded in concealed weapons detection systems (WDS) to accurately identify firearms and knives while distinguishing everyday items, reducing false alarms and maintaining high throughput. In AI-assisted X-ray, machine learning using Apple iPad GPU for highlighting threats in bags, improving accuracy and speeding response. The Ambulance Bay WDS applies AI to screen stretcher patients, securing previously unprotected entry points, while secondary screening uses AI-driven workflows to reduce human error. Beyond detection, AI monitors behavior and compliance—alerting on bypass attempts or missed procedures. Telepresence and AR alert glasses provide real-time support, while all systems connect into one platform for centralized monitoring and intelligent security operations.
Gun Detection
Athena Security delivers a complete entryway gun detection suite built to stop threats before they enter a facility. Unlike camera-based approaches, Athena focuses on point-of-entry screening using AI-assisted X-ray, concealed weapons detection, ambulance bay screening, and secondary screening. The Apollo 500 detects concealed firearms on a person in real time, while AI-powered X-ray identifies guns and other threats inside bags with automated highlighting and operator control. The Ambulance Bay Weapons Detection System extends protection to stretcher patients—closing a critical gap in hospital security. Secondary screening solutions ensure consistent inspection of feet, bags, and flagged items, reducing human error. Together, these layers create a comprehensive, high-throughput security approach that detects firearms across all entry points—on body, in bags, and through ambulance access—delivering full entryway protection unlike anything else on the market.
Physical Security
Athena Security provides an AI-powered physical security platform focused on securing entryways for hospitals, K–12 schools, casinos, places of worship, and high-traffic facilities. The solution combines walk-through weapons detection (Apollo 500), electronic device detection (Apollo 650), AI-assisted baggage X-ray with iPad control, and hospital visitor management system. Unique capabilities include an Ambulance Bay Weapons Detection System for screening stretcher patients and secondary screening solutions for feet and bags to reduce human error during secondary screening process. Built with DHS-aligned processes, Athena ensures consistent testing, controls, and compliance using physical security systems. Telepresence and AR alert glasses support security staff in real time. All products integrate into one platform for centralized monitoring, operational efficiency, and enterprise reporting across multiple locations
Visitor Management
Athena Security’s Visitor Management System (VMS) streamlines and secures entryway access for hospitals, K–12 schools, and high-traffic facilities. The platform automates visitor check-in with identity verification, badge printing, and real-time screening against watchlists and custom alert lists, helping organizations maintain control while improving front-desk flow. Designed for healthcare and education environments, it supports mobile and kiosk workflows such as visitor restrictions, custody checks, and policy enforcement while maintaining privacy and efficiency. Native integration with Epic (via HL7/Epic on FHIR) aligns with hospital workflows, reducing friction while strengthening security. A key differentiator is how VMS data integrates directly into the WDS process. Critical data points—such as visitor history, prior incidents, person-of-interest status —are presented to officers in real time alongside detection alerts. This added context enables faster, more informed split-s
Athena Security Additional Categories
AI Gun Detection Systems
Athena Security specializes in AI gun detection systems or wepaons detection systems designed to stop firearms at the point of entry before they enter a facility. Unlike camera-based or gunshot detection systems that react after an incident, Athena’s approach is proactive—focused on preventing threats from entering in the first place. The Apollo 500 uses advanced AI sensors to detect concealed firearms in real time, distinguishing weapons from everyday items like phones and keys to reduce false alarms while maintaining high throughput. AI-assisted X-ray extends detection to bags by automatically highlighting firearms and other threats for operators. Additional layers, including ambulance bay screening and secondary screening workflows, ensure coverage across all entry points. Together, these AI gun detection systems provide a comprehensive, prevention-first approach that improves response time and strengthens overall entryway security
