Kromek awarded £2.0m contract from UK Ministry of Defence

 

Kromek (AIM: KMK), a leading developer of radiation and bio-detection technology solutions for the advanced imaging and CBRN detection segments, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract worth £2.0m by the UK Ministry of Defence ("MOD") for the supply of nuclear radiation detectors and ancillary products. The contract is to be delivered in the Group's current financial year ending 30 April 2025.  

 

The contract, which was awarded after a competitive tender process, is for the supply of the Group's D5 RIID, a handheld, highly-sensitive gamma and neutron detector, along with the Group's Alpha Beta probe attachment and other associated products. Launched in November 2023, the Alpha Beta probe connects directly to the D5 RIID to enable alpha and beta radiation to be detected, allowing the single, small form factor upgraded device to detect all types of radioactive material.   

 

Arnab Basu, CEO of Kromek, said: "We are delighted to have won this important contract from the UK MOD, which is a significant strategic customer for Kromek. That it was awarded after a rigorous tender process provides excellent endorsement of the strength of our solution. It is also great validation to receive this key order for our Alpha Beta probe so soon after its launch at the end of last year. With the Alpha Beta probe upgrade, our D5 RIID is one of the most versatile handheld radiation detectors available today. We are looking forward to delivering this contract and supporting UK national defence efforts and to continuing to strengthen our relationship with this important customer."
