This document is a formal request for permanent confidentiality submitted by Liberty Defense Technologies, Inc. to the FCC. The request pertains to withholding specific sections of the equipment certification application from public review, citing competitive disadvantages if disclosed.
The sections requested for permanent confidentiality include schematics, detailed block diagrams, detailed operational/functional descriptions, and internal photos. Liberty Defense Technologies argues that disclosing this information would provide competitors with significant advantages in developing similar products and reveal successful implementations of unpublished, leading-edge technology.
The document emphasizes that the equipment is exclusively sold to institutions (government, banks, etc.) and not to the general public. Furthermore, a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) restricting the disclosure of proprietary information, including internal photos, is mandatory before any sale by Liberty Defense Technologies or an authorized distributor. Access and service are limited to Liberty Defense Technologies trained and approved maintenance personnel.
