GII’s redesign of the seismic sensor system for production readiness has been successfully completed and field tested.  GII is now in contact with several companies desiring to incorporate this system into their future product offerings. Initial testing is planned for late 2022.

GII in close cooperation with PSI conducted five field demonstration tests in various locations within California and Arizona with its pre-production version of the seismic sensor system. Successful surface field tests were conducted in: (1) the Mojave Desert (identical site as utilized in March 2019 – see below), (2) near Yuma, AZ in the southeastern California desert and (3) on the beach sand in Newport Beach, CA.  Record footstep detection distances were set at all three locations.

​

Test #4 was comprised of subterranean detection tests that were conducted at the University of Arizona, Tucson Mining Laboratory at three different mineshaft depths – the deepest being 150 feet.  Four types of activities were completed within each of the three tunnel depths. Spectral differences for each activity were identified and stored in computer memory.  These successful test results indicate that the seismic sensor is capable of being an early warning system for impending open pit and subterranean mineshaft collapses.  GII intends to pursue this business application with mining companies throughout the United States.

​

Test #5 was conducted in San Diego to successfully prove the system’s capability to detect and locate tunnels.  Similar to the mineshaft tests above, four activity types were completed within the tunnel.  Spectral differences for each activity were identified and stored in computer memory. The test results indicate that the seismic sensor is capable of detecting and locating tunnels.  

The production readiness version of the seismic sensor system planned for summer 2022 will incorporate the knowledge gained from the data acquired during the five field demonstration tests.

After months of initial preparation, GII has received approval to conduct field demonstration tests by August in conjunction with a government organization to verify seismic sensor capabilities. The tests are designed to validate GII’s claims of superior technical performance as compared to current technology.

Over the past year GII’s material formulation supplier has continued to develop further coating improvements to prevent reverse engineering of proprietary electronic hardware. Laboratory tests indicate a world leading capability enabling GII initiate preliminary tests on actual electronic hardware.

GII reached a major milestone regarding its continued development of a coating to prevent reverse engineering of it's proprietary electronic hardware.  Laboratory tests were successfully conducted with its partner known for innovative material formulations.  While further improvements to the formulation are envisioned, our progress is on schedule and the desired results are in sight.  (Refer to September 2019 entry below.)

GII is pursuing a potential lucrative opportunity to conduct seismic sensor system field demonstration tests for a large government organization.  Successful testing will form the foundation for many future opportunities in several related applications.  This effort will continue throughout 2020 and into 2021.  

While much of the world has been hindered by the pandemic, GII has boldly moved forward and entered into an agreement with a highly specialized consulting company located in Silicon Valley (south of San Francisco, CA) that possesses a deep network of individuals and companies involved in border/zone security and energy exploration applications.  GII intends to capitalize on this network to identify and contact potential customers to utilize our seismic sensor systems for ground based applications.  

Critical to GII's future success is the ability to protect the intellectual property residing in our seismic sensor hardware system.  Protection of the proprietary electronics is of primary importance prior to production deliveries.  Therefore, GII continues to develop a coating to protect the seismic sensor system’s electronic circuit card assemblies from reverse engineering.  This effort is being done in conjunction with a southern California based global leader in innovative material formulations for military, aerospace and energy exploration applications. 

​

We anticipate spectacular results by late 2020, making it virtually impossible to reverse engineer proprietary circuit card assemblies. 

During July 2019 GII reached an historic agreement with its sister company PSI to increase the duration of its ground based exclusivity agreement from 10 years to 15 years!  This agreement further solidifies the long term cooperative effort between the two companies.  Beyond this, additional important contractual changes were made to further link the two companies together.  In total, these positive changes were highly desired by both companies, current and future investors and potential customers.  

​

GII and PSI look forward to a long, bright future together!    

GII is proud to announce global leadership in early warning border security utilizing seismic sensors to detect surface and tunnel intruders.  No other system worldwide offers this dual solution to detect footsteps 250 meters distant.  

GII and PSI traveled to the Mojave Desert near the city of Mojave in early March to conduct demonstration field tests, proving the capabilities of the redesigned hardware and software to a pre-production level configuration.  While the weather in the desert was not cooperative (windy, rainy and water saturated ground), the extreme desert weather actually served to showcase the system’s robust performance even in non-optimum conditions.   Hardware performance was significantly improved with detection distances increasing by over 40% as compared to previous, advanced prototype versions.  Overall system performance was also greatly improved including a new generation of software.  In addition, the system hardware looks and feels similar to a production unit ready for sale.  

Day 1 and Day 3 were spent out in the field collecting data in sunny but windy weather with background environmental noise coming from the wind, nearby freeway traffic, a wind turbine farm for power generation and a heavily used freight railroad.  Day 2 resulted in heavy rain with the locals advising us to  remain at our headquarters hotel due to the possibility of dangerous flash flooding from the nearby mountains.  Four hours of technical reviews were conducted indoors with GII, PSI, technical and marketing consultants and several current and potential investors present.  The sharing of detailed data by several sources was of great benefit to all and added to the overall successful GII seismic sensor system field demonstration tests in the Mojave Desert.   (For photos, please click here)

Plans are now underway to conduct a marketing trip with PSI in the USA in early March to showcase the pre-production seismic sensor system demonstration unit.  Highlighting the trip will be three days in the Mojave Desert near the city of Mojave, CA conducting an extensive, disciplined field test plan of the sensor system.  Government agencies, major USA aerospace companies, investors, third party independent technical consultants and the media are being invited.  

This event will mark the first public showing of the seismic sensor system in pre-production configuration.
