Micro X Secures AU$2.5 million DHS Contract Extension

Micro-X Ltd (ASX: MX1) has announced that its U.S. subsidiary, Micro-X Inc, has been awarded an optional contract extension worth up to AU$2.5 million (US$1.7 million) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The funding, with AU$0.4 million committed immediately, will accelerate the development of passenger self-screening checkpoint detection algorithms—an essential component in next-generation airport security.

This extension lifts the total potential contract value with DHS to AU$31.7 million (US$20.9 million), with contracted payments of up to AU$18.3 million scheduled from FY2026 onwards. CEO Kingsley Hall highlighted the importance of advancing detection software to enhance passenger experience while enabling the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to stay ahead of emerging threats. The company is currently testing one checkpoint system and two baggage scanners in TSA laboratories, with additional units set for live airport trials. This funding marks another step forward in delivering a cutting-edge airport security solution.
