Following the successful installation of three of its VTS systems in Malaysia, Kelvin Hughes is experiencing growing demand throughout South East Asia for its solid-state SharpEye™ radar technology for vessel traffic and coastal surveillance applications.
Navtech Radar is set to exhibit its award winning AdvanceGuard AGS1600 EXTREME radar, specifically developed to cope with the environmental and climate conditions found in oil & gas exploration and production, at Intersec 2014. The solution will be showcased in conjunction with Witness, the company’s advanced control software suite, at the exhibition which takes place between January 19-21 in Dubai, UAE. In addition to showcasing the AGS1600 EXTREME, the company will also demonstrate wide area surveillance for airports. The latest airport projects completed include Bristol Airport in the UK and Valencia Airport in Spain.
Keith Chapman, Head of Global Sales, Security Division at Navtech Radar, says, “We know from experience that most of the oil & gas facilities in the Middle East and worldwide are located in geographical areas with very tough environmental conditions. In many instances the use of physical barriers is rendered difficult if not impossible. The AdvanceGuard security surveillance solution is an ideal choice as it can cope with any environmental condition. Wind, snow, rain, fog, and sand has no effect and do not influence its ability to detect any potential threats, whereas other technologies based on visual images would often fail to detect.
Cassidian, the defence division of EADS, has introduced a new naval X-Band radar optimised for the detection of extremely small objects and countering asymmetric threats.
Kelvin Hughes have announced it is undertaking a number of new projects for the UK’s Royal Navy (RN) in addition to the supply, installation and post design services (PDS) work it is already carrying out.
Cassidian, the defence and security division of EADS, has proved the capabilities of its newly-developed SPEXER 1000 security radar in a series of large-scale field trials, employing realistic scenarios.
Navtech Radar have confirmed they will showcase the AdvanceGuard AGS1600 EXTREME radar at IFSEC 2013 in Birmingham on May 13-17.
At this year’s ITS World Congress, which takes place in Vienna, Austria 22-26 October, Navtech
