Insights
Evolv Technology's new patent for AI-based weapons detection represents a significant leap in physical security technology. The patent, covering object classification using RF electromagnetic data, is crucial for their Evolv Express® system. This innovation allows for faster, less intrusive screening in high-traffic areas, potentially revolutionizing security in public spaces.
The system's ability to distinguish threats from everyday items while people are in motion is particularly noteworthy. This could lead to improved efficiency and user experience in security checkpoints, addressing long-standing issues with traditional metal detectors. The company's growing patent portfolio (over 30 issued patents) suggests a strong commitment to R&D, which could translate to market leadership in the evolving security tech sector.
Evolv's market position appears strong, with over 800 customers globally and
However, investors should note that the security tech market is competitive and rapidly evolving. Evolv's success will depend on continued innovation and effective marketing to maintain its edge. The detection of 500 firearms daily across their customer base demonstrates the system's real-world impact, which could be a strong selling point for potential clients concerned about safety and liability.
While the patent news is positive for Evolv's technological moat, investors should focus on how this translates to financial performance. The company's ability to monetize its growing patent portfolio and expand its customer base will be crucial. Evolv's recurring revenue model through system deployments could provide stable cash flows if adoption continues to grow.
However, as a public company (NASDAQ: EVLV), Evolv will need to demonstrate scalable growth and path to profitability. The security tech sector often requires significant upfront R&D investment, which can impact short-term profitability. Investors should monitor customer acquisition costs, retention rates and revenue per customer to gauge the company's financial health and growth trajectory.
The patent recognizes the unique methods Evolv uses to classify objects

“The technology covered by this patent is foundational to Evolv Express and what we believe sets us apart from other weapons detection systems,” said Michael Ellenbogen, co-founder and chief innovation officer at Evolv Technology. “The patent reminds us how important innovation is to drive advancement in the physical security industry, which, until Evolv Express, had remained relatively unchanged over the past 100 years. We plan to continue creating new solutions for security professionals and venue operators to help them protect places and people.”
Introduced in 2019, Evolv Express uses advanced sensor technology and AI to pinpoint and distinguish a wide variety of potential threats from many common everyday items, such as phones and keys. Evolv Express is designed to screen visitors effectively while helping minimize congestion and disruptions to traffic flow at entry points. When a threat is detected, the connected Evolv tablet displays an image of the individual who alerted and places a "Red Box" on the potential threat’s location(s).
In addition to the patented technology, other notable innovations behind Evolv Express include technology to process RF electromagnetic data across multiple frequencies to detect size, composition, and shape of metal objects while in motion, and technology to process hundreds of thousands of sensor data points for each individual passing through the system.
Ellenbogen continued: “We believe our growing roster of more than 800 customers globally is proof of Evolv’s market leadership and the efficacy of Evolv Express. Our customers’ validation of our technology is a significant achievement and one that I expect will accelerate widespread adoption of a dignified and consistent security screening process.”
Since its debut, Evolv Express has received a number of accolades including the
Evolv Express screens more than one million people daily, and customers are using the system to tag, on average, more than 500 firearms every day. The company has partnered with leading sports and performing arts venues, theme parks, casinos, schools, hospitals, and places of worship globally.
