Jerusalem-IDenta Corp. has been contacted by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) about supplying more of its ammonium nitrate explosive identifiers, according to IDenta CEO Yaacov Shoham. “DoD has made this urgent order for the latest available explosive identifier – the new ammonium nitrate kit.” Shoham reported. “This order is in addition to the previously supplied kits.” He said the contact was made through IDenta’s new representative to the U.S., and that interest in this new test kit has been exceptional since last February’s article, published on The Wall Street Journal Web site, about its use in the Afghanistan war. He said DoD requested a timetable for supplying another large quantity – perhaps as many as 15,000 kits – and asked if they could be supplied in a matter of weeks. A patent application also has been filed, Shoham added.
