Policing major events from political summits, international sports to rock
concerts has always posed difficult balancing problems. Authorities have
to ensure individuals' freedom of movement while also protecting them from
harm, whether it be accidental, criminal activity, political agitation, or
terrorist threat. And all this often has to be done in the glare of the
media, especially where VIPs are involved.
SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems (S&AS) UK can provide a range
of technologies that support the unobtrusive tracking and surveillance of
people. We have systems that monitor major flows in crowds, and that
detect anomalous, potentially suspicious behavior of individuals. The
equipment is easily deployed and redeployed in flexible configurations of fixed
or mobile installations. It can be highly visible to provide a deterrent
effect, or small and hidden to provide discrete surveillance.
Secure communications links tie the sensors with command and control
facilities, supporting situational awareness and enabling effective
response. The communications can be wireless, and can even include
automatic, self-healing networking features. It is therefore both robust and
easy to deploy.
Our solutions are thus particularly suitable for use at events where temporary
but highly reliable and effective systems need to be set up, often in short
order. There is a huge range of possible combinations of equipment and
any number of approaches to integrating it into a coherent system for a
particular event. Detailed analysis of the situation is the first and
main part of any project in this area and we encourage potential customers to
discuss their requirements with us at an early stage.
