Critical Assets Security

The Challenge

Critical assets such as energy production installations, fuel transportation vessels, airports, seaports and government sites are essential for the function of nations and hold global economic significance. A crippled critical asset could become a national and financial disaster for commercial and state interests.

The strategic and economic significance of critical assets marks them as attractive targets for both criminal and terrorist factions.

The Solution

Traditional and conventional security solutions for critical assets focus solely on the perimeter security and are passive and reactive at best.

AIS has designed the Critical Asset Security Solution that is proactive to deal with threats that originate from within the perimeter and with those that extend well beyond.

AIS’s unique approach utilizes perimeter security sensors not only as the last line of defense, but also as important intelligence-gathering tools that help to disrupt threats before they evolve.

Core Technologies

AIS’s approach to comprehensive security relies on synergy between intelligence and physical security.

MasterMind, the AIS Intelligence Engine, is capable of receiving and processing billions of bytes of structured data, analyzing it to create links and transforming it into clear and actionable intelligence in real time.

The Brain, the AIS fusion engine, integrates multiple sensors and systems of different modalities, processes their outputs, and capacitates tracking continuity all to create accurate target reporting and a clear Unified Situational Awareness Picture.

AIS merges its approach and core technologies with decades of operational experience to secure critical assets. AIS solutions disrupt threats by constantly evolving and adapting appropriate security countermeasures.

CRITICAL ASSETS SECURITY COMPONENTS

Sensors – A network of sensory technology, long-range radars, electro-optics, maritime radars, sonar systems and video content analysis sensors scan the secured zone, detect and identify potential intruders and deliver tracks and alerts to the C4I system. The sensors are also used as an intelligence-gathering tool to create databases for future use.

MasterSite – The intelligence system collects internal and external source data, then processes and analyzes it to generate a comprehensive intelligence picture. The intelligence picture is integrated with the C4I component to identify, protect against and monitor threats.

Command and Control – The C4I, uses unique fusion and correlation algorithms to evaluate and fuse the output from the sensor network and their reported tracks to determine a single relevant track. It also manages numerous other critical functions such as sophisticated camera control, video management, network management, and much more.

The C4I significantly reduces false alarms and utilizes decision-making tools that assist in effective and efficient response evaluations during operational situations.

Physical Perimeter Layer – Smart fences, sophisticated gate complexes, concrete walls, guard towers, sea barriers, and more deter hostile activity and create a rigid physical barrier.

Access Control Layer – LPRs, Access Control Systems, smart cards, and RFID are deployed in the interior areas of secured sites. All derived information is monitored, gathered, analyzed, and archived by the Access layer.

The Brain – The security system that integrates and analyzes all relevant data from all of the above security subsystems, generating a full Situational and Intelligence Awareness Picture.

Training & Procedures – Security personnel training is part of AIS’s comprehensive security solution. This includes varied programs and courses tailored to specific site threats and vulnerabilities.
