Sonardyne International joins the 5th annual International Port Security conference
London (PRWEB UK) 19 May 2014 -- SMi would like to announce 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.
Nick Swift, Business Manager: Maritime Security will present on Day One of the conference and his presentation will focus on: Closing the surveillance gap.
Abstract: Surface surveillance systems are now commonplace, integrating diverse above ground sensors to provide an integrated surveillance capability. However, underwater 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 waterside 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.
