RED LOTUS TECHNOLOGIES

Red Lotus Technologies designs and manufactures technology products that help soldiers to detect explosives. It has developed a C-IED (Counter-Improvised Explosives Devices) training system in partnership with the United States military. VAST Training generates visual feedback to show how soldiers sweep handheld detectors over the ground when looking for buried IEDs during training. This visual feedback is used by C-IED instructors to teach the fundamentals of search technique and to detect weaknesses in sweep-search skill. Red Lotus Technologies was co-founded by Lahiru Jayatilaka and Matthew Can in 2012 and based in Silicon Valley, California.
