Cover

Cover is an AI security company working on concealed weapons detection for American schools. Its system is designed as an invisible "security force field" that uses safe, non-ionizing high-frequency imaging waves to scan students for weapons hidden in bags or under clothing. The stated purpose is to help prevent school shootings in K-12 schools, a market the company puts at some 130,000 institutions in the United States.

The technology detects weapons at distances of up to 15 feet and requires no physical checkpoint. Screening is meant to be discreet and non-intrusive: rather than stopping students at a screening line, the system identifies concealed weapons and alerts security professionals directly. The underlying work spans AI-based weapons detection, computer vision and object recognition, and high-frequency wave scanning.

Cover developed its technology in partnership with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The company operates in the United States, serving K-12 schools nationwide, and sits at the intersection of education security, weapons detection and public safety. Its stated focus is on protecting students through screening that is effective without being conspicuous.
