Infrastructure Protection

Providing physical and logical protection of a nation's critical services
Infrastructure covers communications, energy, transport and public utility networks, as well as financial, health and government facilities. It is what maintains the security, health, safety and economic well-being of a nation. An infrastructure can be harmed both physically and 'logically'; buildings and equipment can be damaged and the vital flow of information can be disrupted.  An infrastructure must be protected whether harmed by natural disasters, accidents or deliberate criminal activity.

SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems (S&AS) UK provides solutions to protect the integrity of critical infrastructure covering a wide range of these threats.

Some solutions are simple measures to prevent disruption for example fences, access control mechanisms for physical installations, hardening of computers and shielding of communication networks.  Other solutions are based on various sensor technologies that can for example detect physical changes and integrate electronic techniques that detect attempts at logical disruption.  Systems can also include anti-bugging devices to detect surreptitious, hostile surveillance of infrastructure.

We work with our customers to ensure that these technologies are integrated into their Command and Control systems so that threats can be rapidly identified and neutralised.
