World Security recently launched the first autonomous security surveillance boat in the Middle East, in an effort to boost security and surveillance at Jebel Ali Port.
Namely, the vessel introduces an extra dimension to World Security’s portfolio of solutions, demanded by the uncertainty of the current changing environment caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
What is more, the fully autonomous surveil-lance boat, which can be remotely controlled, is capable of day and night operations with ‘Way-Point Tracking’ capabilities and programmable, fail-safe protocols for security and interception purposes.
In light of the above, Mohammed Al Muallem, CEO and Managing Director, DP World, UAE Region, said:
Purpose-built security systems are integral to safeguard our marine assets as well as those of World Security’s customers. It’s imperative that we develop the next generation of innovative technology at this time of increased need to safeguard national industrial and infrastructure assets in response to the crisis set off by the pandemic.
The vessel also includes advanced robotics and surveillance equipment such as gimbal stabilised camera with an uninterrupted 360-degree view, and Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) that communicate with the command and control station in real-time.
Deploying the state-of-the-art fully autonomous surveillance boat adds another layer of safety and protection for our ports and terminals, which play an important role in the global supply chain.
…Mohammed Al Muallem concluded.
