Infrastructure and transport require 24/7 security to ensure trouble free operations. Airports, ports, trains, buses, aircraft and ships are prime targets for those commissioning criminal activities, from illegal narcotics and people trafficking to hijacking and terrorism. That is where protection of personnel and assets become a central consideration for strategic security considerations.
We have designed solutions for the security and protection of people and assets whilst in transit.
Our portfolio encompasses:
- Equipment for security of passengers, civilian workers, and cargo in the event of a terrorist attack.
- Protection and security of ports and counter piracy.
- Protection of Hazardous/Dangerous goods whilst in transit.
Protection
Covert mobile defensive position – protection hidden in plain sight.
Sadly, we live in an era where the threat of marauding firearms attack has been far too frequent which is where our covert ballistic protection comes in to play. It is a non-obtrusive mobile ballistic shield specifically designed to blend in with its local surroundings. Busy mass-transit hubs such as airport terminals, train and bus stations are vulnerable places which is where our solutions can be deployed in a matter of a few seconds to provide full protection for two firearms officers allowing them to quickly close down a hostile threat.
We also have a wide range of overt ballistic protection solutions, known as Modular Armour Shield Systems (MASS) and Modular Armour Protection Systems (MAPS).
MASS
These personal shields have been designed specifically for firearms officers to tactically advance into a major incident where they are dealing with a potential armed criminal, it allows for the officer to advance with protection and actively engage and respond. Our shields are lightweight, ergonomic and have been designed to be operated in confined spaces within buildings, ships, tunnels, aircraft, trains and underwater diving. Our Maritime Boarding Shields are buoyancy neutral for approaching targets from under water or carried on the officers back whilst climbing up or descending from a rope or ladder to a vessel, typically used for anti-piracy. They are easily stowed for rapid deployment. Various levels of ballistic protection are available.
MAPS
Is a unique rapidly deployable armoured emplacement solution which provides a protected position against ballistics. The systems are lightweight, adaptable, ergonomic to handle and easily re-locatable. These systems are primarily used in High-Risk areas to provide a check point/ entry point and safe zones in areas such as, Airport Security, Dockside ports and, Trains. Our systems offer a Citadel approach to providing an area where personnel can be easily protected whilst officers engage with the terrorist or armed criminal.
MAPS Mariner system offers rapid deployable ballistic protection which sits along the ships rail to protect against incoming attack whilst transiting through hostile waters.
AJAX
Easily transportable, assembled by two personnel in less than sixty seconds to provide multi-shot ballistic protection with high levels mobility and optimised for urban operations and siege situations. Typically for deployment on pre-planned operations to provide protection to firearms personnel, negotiators and evacuation of casualties. Rising front wheels enable the system to negotiate roadside curbs and doorway thresholds with ease. The main components are modular and interchangeable by design making the system reconfigurable to suit each mission.
VIXEN
A modular ballistic shield system for spontaneous operations providing armed first responders with maximum team protection and high levels of mobility. Specifically designed for ease of transportation and rapid deployment and with an integral facility to carry essential mission critical equipment which reduces the burden on the operators. The system can negotiate stairs, elevators and doorway thresholds.
Viewpoint
Viewpoint provides CT teams with a larger support shield that provides tactical teams with a ballistic protection capability that enables them to dominate and control a particular hostile area, corridor or room entry point whilst keeping direct ‘eyes-on’. The Viewpoint shield is easily transported in a SUV or similar vehicle for rapid deployment.
Rapid Access
Our Vehicle Borne Intervention Systems (VBIS) are designed to enable military and law enforcement tactical intervention teams' rapid access onto high rise targets such as buildings and aircraft. Straightforward integration with multiple vehicle platform types, our systems enable a safe rapid approach and assault of the target. Equipped with numerous access platforms, examples being the Forward Assault Ramp and the Tactical Assault Ladder the teams can access 3rd and 4th story structures in urban environments and large aircraft such as Boeing 747-400 and the Airbus A380. Equipped with the Fast Rope System, the VBIS enables operatives to rapidly overcome vertical defensive obstacles such as high-rise walls and fences.
Ladders:
We offer an extensive range of ladders which are designed for transport security operatives. Our ladders come in numerous sizes and weights for officers who are required to conduct operations often in hazardous and challenging conditions. They are designed for single, dual or multiple personnel uses and typically used for the tactical intervention and emergency response to enter aircraft, ships, trains, trams, buses/coaches and building.
Our Maritime Boarding Ladder is used to tactically board ships as well as typical search and rescue operations.
We also manufacture a Non-Conductive search ladder for areas that may present an electrocution risk.
