Introducing ALIAS – the next generation in forensic ballistics

ALIAS is rewriting the rules on how firearm convictions are made

Created by Michael Barrett, the pioneer who brought IBIS to firearms examiners and technicians in the early 90s, ALIAS leads the next generation in forensic ballistics analysis.

ALIAS builds visually rich 3D cartridge case and bullet images, then provides powerful tools to analyze them using topographically sensitive colorization, and adjustable light source and axis orientation.

ALIAS image data is captured by the world’s finest Swiss-built, application-specific interferometer, then processed with a thoroughly modern 64-bit computing and application architecture that rapidly defines 3D data with patented software algorithms.

More than the technology is revolutionary. ALIAS is aggressively priced against competitive offerings. Moreover, five annual support cost options range from zero cost for law enforcement agencies with available IT resources, to platinum coverage that includes 24/7 support and two-hour response time.

Solve more crimes. Convict more criminals. Save more lives. Get the ALIAS advantage. To learn more about ALIAS — the next generation in forensic ballistics — contact the Pyramidal Technologies team today.

Pyramidal Technologies announces new generation of ALIAS interferometer

DateMonday, April 23, 2012 at 09:56PM

Pyramidal technologies is pleased to announce the release of its Generation Five interferometer.  This new component will revolutionize the already advanced ALIAS system.  Among the highlights of the new interferometer are:

  • Increase sensor size from 13,500 elements to 90,000 elements. Raw scan times are about five times faster than Generation Four
  • Lateral resolution improved from 2um to 1.6um
  • Vertical resolution improved from 2um to 1um. These improvements decrease significantly any rounding errors that may occur
  • Introduction of interactive mode with 2D video camera. This is used when acquiring bullet scans. It allows operators to preview and select areas of forensic significance prior to initiating a scan
  • XY stage resolution improved from 1um to 100 nanometers
  • Both bullet and cartridge case holders have been re-designed to improve efficiency

Together, these improvements will result in faster scan times and improved data integrity for the user, increased overall throughput and a higher solution rate.
