SMi reports that Sonardyne International has joined the 5th annual International Port Security conference taking place in under 3 weeks' time on the 4th and 5th June 2014, London, UK.
Nick Swift, Business Manager: Maritime Security will present on Day One of the conference and his presentation will focus on: Closing the surveillance gap.
Surface surveillance systems are now commonplace, integrating diverse above ground sensors to provide an integrated surveillance capability. However, under water threats are rarely considered when installing waterside protection systems and so many surveillance systems have a vulnerability that can be easily exploited.
Sonardyne’s Sentinel system is an underwater Intruder Detection system that plugs the capability gap of surveillance systems and significantly reduces the risk to water side assets. Critical national infrastructure is frequently built adjacent to the shoreline and providing a comprehensive security system which includes a subsea surveillance capability is becoming a key requirement.
The presentation will discuss:
- The threat profiles
- Described the requirements that sonar based IDS can be address
- Difference in sonar sensor to surface sensors
- Installation methods
- Performance of the systems, and how performance can be affected
The event will be attended by the following companies / organizations: BAE Systems, Dextera Global, Dubrovnik Port Authority, Embassy of Saudi Arabia, EU Commission, G4S Security Services, Greenwich Maritime Institute, International Maritime Organisation, Los Angeles Port Police, Marine Risk Management, Maritime Command Northwood, Minetech International, NATO Specialist Team on Harbour Protection, PGI Training, Port of Antwerp, Port of Dover, Port Of Gothenburg, Port of Hamburg , Port Of Liverpool Police, Port of London Authority, Port of Santos - Brasil, Portuguese Navy, Royal Oman Police, Saudi Ports Authority, Swedish Armed Forces, The Mariner Group, The Ports of Stockholm, Transnational Crime Unit- Liberia plus many more.
