Liberating Security

A world where public spaces are safe for everyone

What We Do

We enable concealed weapons detection for open public spaces: Those spaces that have never had a viable option.

The Challenge

Public spaces belong to everyone. Keeping them safe is our shared responsibility.

From city squares and concert halls to airports and shopping centres, open public spaces are the beating heart of modern life. Yet they are increasingly vulnerable. Mass casualty events in crowded environments are rising globally — and the human cost is devastating. Society deserves spaces where people gather freely, without fear.

Targeted attacks on open public spaces have more than doubled in the last decade.

Passive weapon detection for safer public spaces and seamless movement

Invisible to the person. Instant for the operator.

Deployed discreetly indoors or outdoors, Angely protects venues, campuses, and open public areas. It works invisibly, requiring no queues, no stoppage, no body searches, letting people move freely while threats are detected and tracked in real time. Our patent-pending system fuses live crowd analytics with passive magnetic sensing to detect and pinpoint concealed ferromagnetic weapons.

Queue-Free Experience

Enables fully free-flowing traffic, keeping people moving without bottlenecks or delays.

Real-Time Tracking

Monitor activity instantly, even across large-scale environments.

Built for Public Spaces

Supports open-space design and public mobility goals, with visible or fully concealed installation options.

Passive

Fully passive and thus medically safe.

Smarter Staffing

Reduce security staffing requirements while increasing throughput.

Privacy-First Design

GDPR-compliant and designed with data privacy at its core.

The Security Dilemma

Conventional security cannot protect open spaces.

Traditional weapons detection forces people to stop, queue, and submit to screening. That works at an airport with a single controlled gate. It cannot work at a shopping centre, a stadium concourse, or a city plaza. The moment you create a screening lane, you change the nature of the space — and hand attackers a predictable, densely packed target.

Current means secure chokepoints, not areas

The moment you introduce a screening lane, you transform an open space into a controlled checkpoint: changing how people move, how they use it, and what it means to be there. Traditional detection only works where everyone can be funnelled through a single gate. This cannot be the case for open, public spaces.

Active systems exclude the medically vulnerable

Strong magnetic fields from conventional detectors pose a real risk to people with pacemakers or other active implanted devices thus creating a class of people who cannot safely pass through standard screening.

Privacy should be a priority

Freedom of movement and privacy should be guaranteed in public spaces. Asking people to empty their pockets or submit to physical contact is incompatible with normal public life, and, at the scale of a city plaza or transit hub, it is simply not viable. Security technology should work discreetly in the background, identifying potential threats without collecting personal information or revealing private belongings.

How we address this

Angely eliminates all of these constraints at once. By operating entirely passively, no gates, no emissions, no queue, the system covers the entire space continuously, from entry to exit. Every person is scanned without being stopped or directed. When a threat is detected, the system delivers both an instant alert and a live location, so security teams know exactly where to respond. No specialist operators, no control room, no architectural changes required. It is the only detection approach built from the ground up for open, freely flowing environments.

The Technology

Space-derived magnetic sensing, fused with AI video analysis.

Angely’s technology originates from spacecraft magnetic cleanliness, the highly specialized discipline of measuring, modelling, and controlling minute magnetic fields to meet the strict noise requirements of space missions.

Our founders bring a cumulative of more than 120 years of experience in this field through the EMTECH group of companies, which has and continues to deliver a range of electromagnetic cleanliness projects to organizations including ESA and other large system integrators.

Angely translates this heritage into proprietary hardware capable of measuring DC and AC magnetic fields with exceptional temporal and magnitude resolution, supported by advanced modelling software and deep domain expertise.

For concealed-weapons detection, this space-derived magnetic technology is fused with locally processed visual data. Crowd-sensing neural networks interpret the movement and dynamics of the scene, while the combined magnetic and visual data enable the system not only to detect a potential concealed weapon, but also to track it as its carrier moves.

The result is a powerful, privacy-conscious security technology built on proven space-industry methods, without facial recognition or privacy-invasive imaging.
