About this file

This document outlines the salient characteristics for security wands required for the 2026 Joint Base Charleston Air Show, specifically for non-contact metal detection operations. The wands must incorporate a lightweight, ergonomic design to minimize operator fatigue during extended use at the air show event. The devices shall be battery-operated with rechargeable or replaceable batteries capable of supporting prolonged operational periods, and must feature automatic tuning functionality that adjusts sensitivity based on environmental conditions to optimize performance.

The security wands must demonstrate high sensitivity to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals to ensure comprehensive detection of metallic objects. Alert mechanisms shall include multi-sensory notifications consisting of audible tones, visual flashing indicator lights, and vibration alerts for discreet notifications in silent mode. These specifications support the Air Mobility Command's procurement of magnetometers and related equipment for the 2026 Charleston Air Show event, as outlined in solicitation FA441826Q0013.
