A Global Market Demanding Smarter Security
The need for faster, non-invasive, and future-proof screening is growing across the world. FSP is positioned to meet that demand starting in airports, and expanding into critical infrastructure worldwide.
$25B+ in Aviation Security by 2030
The global push for smarter, safer, and faster screening is accelerating. With upcoming TSA and EU mandates for mandatory shoe screening, Arion Defense is positioned to define a new category of security infrastructure.
Positioned to Redefine Threat Detection

Disruptive Footwear Screening Technology
- Detects metallic and non-metallic threats, including 3D-printed weapons, with no need for shoe removal.
- Faster, more accurate, and less invasive than current TSA and airport protocols.
Open ArchitecturePlatform; Strong IP Position
- Built to integrate with 3rd party software, biometric ID systems, access control, and national security standards (e.g. DICOS, OPSL).
- Exclusive license to patents from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), one of the U.S.’s leading government R&D labs.
Total Addressable Market (TAM) of USD$400B+
- Initial TAM in aviation security alone is projected at $25B+ by 2030.
- Modular design unlocks expansion into multiple additional sectors — growing the potential TAM to USD$400B+ across sectors.
Strong Regulatory and Commercial Tailwinds
- Under evaluation by the TSA, with first U.S. airport deployments expected in 2026 (initial rollout: ~1,200 units).
- Aligned with upcoming mandatory footwear screening regulations in both the U.S. and European Union.
Recurring Revenue Model
- Hardware sales
- Software licensing & threat detection algorithms
- Maintenance & analytics-as-a-service
- SaaS-like model provides long-term monetization beyond initial deployment.
Strong Management & Advisory Team
- Founder responsible for building multiple successful companies in the security sector.
- Executive team / advisory board originating from Fortune 100 / Fortune 500 companies, investment banking firms, and high-level national security organizations.
Legacy Threat-Detection Systems Have Become Outdated
FAILURE TO DETECT NEW THREATS
Current metal detectors and body scanners fail to detect non-metallic and 3D-printed threats
INCREASED FOOT TRAFFIC
Increasing foot traffic at airports and public spaces: security bottlenecks, staff shortages, higher expenditures
INCREASED THREATS
Rising security threats in high-traffic and critical infrastructure locations
SLOW PROCESS
Shoe removal processes cause delays and inefficiency
What Makes the FSP Superior?
EMERGING THREAT-READY
Unlike legacy scanners, the FSP also detects 3D-printed and non-metallic weapons
SAFE, AUTOMATED DETECTION
Reduces staffing needs; detection powered by proprietary millimeter wave and AI-enhanced image analysis
NON-INVASIVE & HIGH FIDELITY
3D-rendered images isolate anomalies within footwear without revealing anatomical foot detail
NO FOOTWEAR REMOVAL REQUIRED
Critical in high-traffic, high-security facilities seeking to improve flow
