November has been designated Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month in the USA. Pelham’s own globally renown innovator, Accipiter Radar is proud to support those tasked with the protection of critical infrastructure.
Reservoir & Dams
The peaceful waters of a reservoir or dam pose security and safety challenges, with awareness of the presence of unauthorized people, vehicles, vessels or aircraft/UAS in restricted areas essential to protect the facility and public alike. Accipiter Radar provides a number of systems that enable the detection, tracking and alerting, recording and audible warning for dam operators to ensure 24/7 safe and secure operations.
Large Rivers & Canals
Rivers and canals are widely used and shared by recreational boaters as well as commercial vessels. Unexpected and changing weather conditions as well as large volumes of vessels in the high seasons can pose safety and security concerns for all, as well as increased workload for authorities. Accipiter Radar provides surveillance and monitoring solutions that empower responders, such as police and coastguard, with awareness of incidents and allows response based on live situational awareness and alerting.
Hydroelectric Facilities
The physical threat to critical infrastructure by terrorists and other criminals requires constant monitoring with rapid response to suspicious targets. Accipiter Radar provides systems that detect and track a wide array of potential threats including boats, drones and aircraft and based on their behavior automatically alerts responders for interception and mitigation.
Nuclear Power Plants
Most nuclear facilities are located on a body of water which presents a level of vulnerability. Water-side industrial sites require vigilant surveillance with the capability of both immediate interdiction and use of data for historical forensic analysis. Accipiter Radar’s technology is ideally suited to provide short, medium and long range surveillance on the water as well as in the air and on the ground, alerting and notifying personnel to possible security or safety threats.
Prisons
Protecting correctional facilities such as prisons and penitentiaries is critical to the safety of inmates, correctional officers and the general public. Due to the incidents of perimeter breach by various methods, surveillance that ensures detection, tracking and alerting is vital to preventing illegal contraband or entities from breaching the facility by land or air. Accipiter Radar’s technology is designed to provide situational awareness of perimeters as well as tracking any intrusions for interdiction.
Airports
Airports are situated on large acreages that require maximum surveillance to prevent incursions onto the airfield or other secure areas. Accipiter’s technology provides coverage of the entire airport from the fence and beyond to detect, track and alert authorities to any suspicious targets approaching the area from land or air in order to determine the threat and respond with the proper level of due diligence.
