Is interesting... http://idstch.com/home5/international-defence-security-and-technology/security/new-radiation-detection-systems-to-help-foil-terrorists-dirty-bombs-or-full-blown-nuclear-weapons/

I found this interesting in light of last months visit to India with T. May. https://www.dpsdae.gov.in/uploads/PO_DATA_APR_JUN_2016.pdf Dated mid last year the Indian Goverment placed an order for a number of kromek handheld detectors Page 21 .

Here's a section from the first example in my link ....funding was available for this and looks very exciting.. Could lead to a "paradigm shift in medical X Ray diagnostics" "The main motivation of this work is to investigate to which extent photon-counting, energy discriminating CZT detectors are capable of overcoming fundamental performance limits and carrying out quantitative imaging revealing the additional spectral information, and therefore, improving conventional x-ray medical imaging. If energy information is recorded alongside the intensity, x-ray medical imaging modalities could increase diagnostic accuracy through soft-tissue differentiation, material decomposition, tumour characterisation, target quantification and development of disease-specific targeted contrast agents and drugs. The latter could improve low-contrast resolution and overall image quality at significantly reduced radiation doses and lead to superior diagnostic performance with lower cost. Spectral x-ray imaging can become an important imaging technique providing material-specific quantitative information in combination with high spatial resolution imaging, and therefore, leading to a paradigm shift in x-ray medical diagnostics."

Your welcome F79, I'm imagine the R&D will continue throughout the company's future.... There is funding viakromeks extensive relationship withnUniversties and hospitals but not sure if funding possible else where. I found this link a while ago which demonstrates this to a point..each case has Kromek as partner and last updated a month ago but some projects started in 2015..and if you click on outcomes explains what happened. http://gtr.rcuk.ac.uk/organisation/9538CA50-BF33-4B5A-9F1A-8EB0917ACA1C

European Radiation Detection And Imaging Technology Platform Just posting this up for any newbys here, like myself. http://erdit.eu/content/background

Thanks Munster. Appreciated. I notice KMK are listed as a SME member of ATTRACT. Well worth a read. http://www.attract-eu.org/the-project.html

I'm pretty confident that the BODs at Kromak have more deals in the bag as it would have been a bit premature to mention " step change" in revenue going forward with nothing in the hand....just have to wait. Imo the sp is quite secure , it may waiver a bit up and down but fund raising is over, contracts in hand ....plus from older link below ...I really like the sentence where it states that Kromak are talking to other Governents in relation to what they have achieved in the US with Darpra....imagine if they sprung another deal with another government to trial technology with aim to roll out as in US. ....it's not only possible but from what BODs state, it's looking quite probable to.

Are exhibiting today and the next two days in Tamp Florida....along with a few others. http://exhibits.ndia.org/sofic2017/public/Content.aspx?ID=34281&sortMenu=107000

Any news about the Kronek / Rolls Royce / MOD project. Below is the original paper work awarded to Kromek https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG149055&catID=

At certain times today the bid / ask was 28 / 30 p ...that's when I noticed a wider spread...agreed not all day.

I haven't picked up in any negative news, but we will be the last to hear....it took me years of trading to realise the benefits of stop losses, it's up to you what criteria you use but it takes the emotion out of trading against bad news or even lack if news I'd so slides..where it's tempting to hang in there, and wait for the bounce but if your stopped out early ...you have the option of waiting to see what happens, but back in cheaper if story hasn't changes or wait ...I'm no longer worried about being stopped out, even if it's a false alarm....I've been around for sometime and learnt the hard way...protect investment at all times...even if you miss a few % on a bounce...GL

Hi F79, I have researched this share to death and can only find positives - but there is a persistent seller who is reducing but in a way that effects the sp only slightly...also as there is little demand here at present the mms seems to apply a larger spread ..today 7% .....but I'm buying more If it dips any further and I'm sure I'm not alone.. This like 100% of other AIM shares, as I'm sure you know, is driven by news and positive comments on tip sheets...so expect drifting in between news...the difference with this share us the potential news expected thus year, and onwards is massive, and will immediately boost the balance sheet of the company, unlike many here who are years away from revenues...just make sure you gave a stop loss in place at all times.GL

"As Europe’s largest robotics lab, you would expect the Bristol Robotics Labs (BRL) to spin out some interesting companies developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. But there are other developments across the region that make Bristol and Bath a key location for UAV technology development in 2017. You may like: Facebook’s internet-providing high flyer takes off imitech-venturefest-jm1. Imitec, a spinout of the University of Bristol, has developed an Autonomous Airborne Radiation Monitoring system (AARM) that provides low-altitude mapping of radioactive contamination using a drone. A customised drone with a flight time of 40 minutes carries a high-performance spectrometer able to produce maps of the radiation with a resolution down to 1m over high dose areas and inaccessible locations, minimising the risk to operators. It differs from current radiation detection systems in that, in near real time, it locates measures and maps radioactivity and the isotopes present thus significantly speeding and improving the efficiency of radiation detection. AARM was the first UAV ever to fly over Sellafield nuclear facility in the United Kingdom and has also been used to undertake radiation surveys in Portugal and in the Fukushima Prefecture in Japan. Expect to see more from them throughout 2017 after coming 5th in last year’s global ‘Drones for Good’ competition." https://techspark.co/five-drone-startups-watch-2017/

Anyone have any idea what happened to the $159 million contract in China over seven years....can't find any mention about it in the years after 2014.....unless I've missed something....is this order still active or cancelled? From final results 2014 "In early April 2014, we announced a contract to supply medical imaging modules to a SME manufacturer of x-ray diagnostics and analysis equipment in China. The contract provides for revenues of $1.4m in the current financial year and $10.2m in the next financial year, and the overall value of the contract over the seven years is up to $159m, subject to the customer meeting its contractual revenue targets. "

Evening Nthoftheriver, Yes nothing to be done just wait for news.....every one expects the step change is related from US civil defence, which is most likely I suppose ( the army won't place orders, if they decide to go ahead until 2018 imo at least) but with so many balls in the air the news could come from anywhere. GL

Using kMK device ......massive market for drones that can scan containers, cars etc from a distance for radioactive substances ......every country has ports and will need to ensure all containers etc entering country are safe....The US us particularly interested in this .....finding a way to allow the approx 120 million containers into the USA from abroad as quickly and safely as possible each year, maybe this is one solution....fly by drones....a lot of research going on in US to solve this problem .....interesting that Kromek inside again. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0303243416300733

They have been researching KMK tech. They attached KMK sensors to wires and attaché to helicopters so radiation can be detected on the ground. And it worked well. "NORDUM Exercise NORDUM (Intercomparison of Nordic unmanned aerial monitoring platforms) exercise was organized in the Hauerseter Leir military campsite, Gardermoen, Norway. The NKS-B activity NORDUM is the first joint Nordic exercise for unmanned systems. All in all, five teams participated in this event coming from different universities and radiation safety related institutions located in Norway, Sweden and Finland. In the NORDUM exercise, the objective was to locate and identify potential radioactive materials from the arranged scenario areas. The scenario areas varied from cluttered areas containing large shipping containers and various metal structures to open field and forest scenarios. For the measurements, a stand-alone sensor package was constructed containing a RTK (Real Time Kinematic) capable GPS (u-blox C94-M8P-3), measurement computer (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B), a 433 MHz (3DR) radio, a 3.7V Li-ion battery and a gamma radiation spectrometer (Kromek GR1-A). In the arranged scenarios, the teams needed to localize hidden radiation sources and visualize their location utilizing GPS. In the scenarios, the constructed stand-alone sensor package performed well in most scenarios, although some radio link related issues were encountered especially near large metal structures. The utilized Kromek GR1-A was sensitive enough that radiation sources could also be identified from local spectrum histograms when enough flybys near the radiation source was made. The stand-alone sensor package was carried with a DJI Inspire 1 T600 quadcopter, hanging 1.5 meters below the vehicle. This made possible manoeuvring the sensor very close to the objects being measured. The quadcopter had a flight time of 10 minutes with a 5.7 Ah 22.2V Li-ion flight battery and the sensor package. The 4k resolution camera was utilized during flight to observe the sensor position and to manoeuver it to wanted positions. Although the conditions were rather windy, flying with the sensor package was manageable. The quadcopter with the sensor package is shown in Figure 21. The measurement results from one of the three scenarios is shown in Figure 22 and Figure 23."
