Most have probably seen this link but does promise great things sometime this financial year...they must have been mega confident back in 2015 to include this point in their company note https://www.researchpool.com/download/?report_id=87936&show_pdf_data=true

Thanks North, Well they obviously we're confident when they predicted the 12,000 handset order from DARPA back in 2015...i wonder if the second prediction from way back in 2015 will materialise .....which is worth $50 million plus and stated to land during full year 2017! " Explosive growth potential Consequently over the past 2 years, and at a cost of $4.35m, DARPA contracted Kromek to develop just such a state-of-the-art device; the D3S (see below) based on patented technology. It costs a mere $400, plus another $100 for each charging cradle. Indeed, barring any last minute hitches, we think DARPA will shortly award Kromek an approx. 12,000 unit order (1,000/month beginning 15th March 2016) worth >$6m; followed by another for 100k+ (or >$50m) sometime in FY17. Our confidence comes from the very positive comments that DARPA has already publicly made about the D3S - click to listen http://kromek.com/index.php#/gallery-141t/4." The link will follow as my mobiles memory us full.

"He told the Echo: “A pipeline is one thing, but the conversion into contracts is another and that has started to happen. “We are building up a very good list of customers who are willing to commit their medium and long-term futures with us. “Our pipeline is extremely strong and we are working hard to bring more customers to it; we expect to see more good news coming out.” Kromek’s £810,000 contract came after the company revealed a £21m stock market drive, which Dr Basu described as the “rocket fuel” to power fresh growth and ease some customer concerns over its balance sheet. The placing and offer also provided hope the company can record its first profit, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) expected to break even in the coming months. As well as its radiation detectors, Kromek is also known for airport bottle scanners, which scour luggage for explosives, and medical equipment capable of helping diagnose brittle bones."

Will make a brilliant endorsement for other Goverments looking for a solution....I'm pleased to see this RNS is specifically referring to "next generation standalone radiation detector, D3S-ID" and not the mobile hand held detectors that often get all the press....yet another market expecting mega growth going forward especially in transport hubs and ports etc. I'm Waiting on news from the US army / DOD project that closed in late May 17. They put out a request for company's offering detectors to provide samples to DoD For robust testing of selected detectors that met their criteria, between Mid June to Oct 2017......I fully expect KMK to be one of the solutions chosen for testing.....would be excellent news if confirmed....(just a note to BODs ).

Te article was written in over a year ago and that's possibly a tasty future market of $1 billion each year, just to spell it out. "Arnab Basu, Kromek chief executive, says the annual global market for sensors of this sort could rise to about $1 billion"

The more I read about Kromek the more I realise that the technology that they have created and their future offerings fit so well with the world wide explosion in Smart City's and the take up in connected devices that will make city's smart. This article was interesting and looking at some of the UKs leading sensor company's ...here the KMK bit . "Another example of a networked system is an ambitious set of equipment – based around sensors made by Kromek based in County Durham – that will gradually enter operation in the US over the next few years. The sensors will monitor large cities for the presence of nuclear material – radiological ‘dirty bombs’ for instance – that security chiefs worry could form part of a potentially deadly terrorist threat. In the networks sensors – measuring small concentrations of gamma rays – will be worn by police officers and other government employees. They will record minute levels of radiation in the atmosphere, raising the alarm if readings suddenly rise without explanation. Arnab Basu, Kromek chief executive, says the annual global market for sensors of this sort could rise to about $1 billion. He is also looking at how Kromek could use its expertise in networks to move into other fields such as pollution monitoring." Pollution monitoring monitoring sounds another growth area .... http://www.ukmanufacturingreview.com/2016/blog/the-great-british-sensor-sector/

InterEsted party's for DOD Army pilot ....note successfull vendors will be notified on 9th June...maybe Telegraph coverage today has taken this into account ....with a fair wind Kromek could well be included. News could be very soon. 10. What is the order of events and the corresponding time duration (ex: submittal, delivery of units, JPEO testing, notification of results, manufacturer selection for next step, configuration audit, Operational Test &Evaluation (OT&E), notification of results, approval, specification announcement (ex: IDIQ), procurement, etc.) A: This is a request for information only. It is anticipated that Vendors will be notified by June 9th of their acceptance for testing. It is further anticipated that testing will begin by July 2017 (subject to the availability of funds)." https://www.fbo.gov/utils/view?id=15478d874120564d57fe06b3682164cf

The 2 X £20,000 sells today look like they are buys ....which if so, makes a change....

The rise does demonstrate how quickly the sp can move....presently 5th from top on AIM and 6th from top overall on all boards ..... http://www.stockmarketwire.com/article/5563095/Market-Movers-Top-risers-and-fallers-at-0900.html

Look at the size of the buys trades. They are very small. I could be wrong but looks like a tip sheet probably recommended KMK yesterday evening .....if a leak, then I would expect much larger trade.....what's the point of getting a nod regarding a deal, if you only put a few hundred on it! I obviously hope I'm wrong but looks that way to me....saying that I am expecting news very soon....and would expect larger trades first thing on the day. GL

Kromek involved in this one.... "The development of a low-cost CsI(Tl)-SiPM detector for radiation monitoring by members of the public Paper 10392-45 Author(s): Steven J. Bell, National Physical Lab. (United Kingdom); Craig Duff, Kromek (United Kingdom) Hide Abstract The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi NPP has increased interest amongst members of the public in the measurement and monitoring of radiation. Many simple radiation detectors have been developed and made available for public purchase and use; however these devices often lack a metrological underpinning and so their results are difficult to interpret. A collaboration between Kromek and the National Physical Laboratory has been established to develop and metrologically validate a CsI(Tl)-SiPM gamma radiation detector for on-line, geo-tagged radiation monitoring by members of the public. This work is part of the EMPIR Preparedness project funded by EURAMET, BEIS and Kromek." Aimed at members of the general public? That's something I've not come across !

Hi North and Munters, Apologise if This has been covered here before but I notice BAE are working with kromek and others on a very exciting project to create wafer thin sensors ... http://gtr.rcuk.ac.uk/projects?ref=ST/J000981/1

On this events committee along with the US Army in April this year! https://spie.org/SID/conferencedetails/chemical-biological-radiological-nuclear-explosives-cbrne

Here is the link....

"RFI responses are due May 17, 2017 12:00 pm Eastern. The DoD noted it expects to announce selectees for performance testing no later than May 31, 2017." With some luck we should hear some news about this test for the US Army in the next few weeks.
