Mass shootings are not the most common form of gun violence in schools. Most shootings happen when kids bring guns to school repeatedly before actually using them.

We’re doing our part to reverse this problem with stealth weapon detection that can prevent the most common type of shooting. By identifying concealed weapons, we can take guns out of kids’ hands before these everyday disputes escalate.

Our mission is to end school shootings by installing Cover at the 130,000 K-12 schools across the US.

Every state has experienced school shootings.

Across the country, kids don’t always feel safe going to school. With Cover as an unobtrusive security fixture in K-12 schools, we can start to change that.

Developed in partnership with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory

In 2024, Cover partnered with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to license its active terahertz imaging radar intellectual property. We’re working closely with Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists to implement it.

Together, AI and terahertz waves detect concealed weapons quicker than a human, while letting school life go on as usual.
