Critical Site Protection
CONTROP’s EO/IR systems can be used to protect sites including critical national infrastructure that is vital for countries to function and for people to live their daily lives. Malicious actors can target critical sites such as power stations (nuclear and conventional), water treatment plants or communications networks, causing significant harm to a national population. The last several years have seen several examples of physical attacks by terrorist groups on critical sites including oil and gas installations and pipelines, utilizing a range of attack vectors including bombings and drone strikes.
CONTROP’s high performance multi-spectral sensors can quickly detect malicious activity around critical sites and alert security forces to act. Security forces can utilize CONTROP’s long-range SPEED family of sensors to automatically detect suspicious vehicles or people using high-definition day cameras or cooled thermal cameras. Security forces can also use the TORNADO-ER in critical site protection, with the advanced IR scanning system able to rapidly detect and acquire land targets out to 12km.
