Counter Terrorism

The challenges

• Terrorist targeting of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), VIPs, and crowded places and events with improvised explosives (IEDs) and stand-off weapons such as direct and indirect fire weapons is an increasing concern.
• Police and security forces need faster, more effective solutions than traditional and laborious methodology, such as ‘walking the ground’, when carrying out vulnerability assessments.
• Detailed geographic analysis considerably reduces survey areas, saving time and resources, but how can this be achieved?
• Simply defending buildings using surveillance technology such as sensors is not fool-proof.
• When attacks occur, how can you rapidly identify safe routes in and out for your team to neutralise these attacks?

The solution

The Cunning Running software that protects public events from terrorist threats

Our Counter Terrorism and Search Analysis System (CTS-PRAS) is our civilian Homeland Security solution which is a unique multi-purpose tool used by governments dealing with counter-terrorism.

The software identifies potential firing points of MANPADS, direct and indirect fire weapons, IEDs and counter UAS launch sites, enabling users to visualise the threat footprint. Maps, diagrams and other data are processed and downloaded to front-line personnel attending the incident.

This decision-support tool delivers enhanced situational awareness and informed ‘safe route’ planning. Critically, it updates the threat status as the situation develops.

For defending CNI, CTS-PRAS displays sensor coverage in 2 and 3-dimensional space. It is overlaid on Google Earth™, giving an immediate visual indication of which sensors provide the optimum for security, incident observation and perimeter surveillance.

As a preventative tool, CTS-PRAS uses terrain elevation and weapon characteristics to calculate where potential launch sites exist. These are examined and mitigated using aerial photography and ground survey. A site database provides a record of all site surveys with notes, photos, videos, maps, sketches and aerial imagery.
