Force Protection

The challenges

Planning the defence of military targets and infrastructure against attacks from land, sea and air is a long and complex operation. Threats include attacks against aircraft from MANPADS, stand-off weapons (direct and indirect fire, improvised explosives (IEDs) and drones/Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
Military 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 safeguards armed forces from long-range weapons.

Our Force Protection Planning Tool (FPPT) is used to analyse threats against airborne targets from stand-off weapons such as MANPADS and direct fire weapons. It provides support in generating and maintaining the Surveillance and Target Acquisition Plan (STAP) and ensures that shared situational awareness is available for all those required to execute a Force Protection plan.

The FPPT solution delivers detailed MANPADS, Direct & Indirect Fire, Counter IED and UAS vulnerability assessments. It logs and maintains a database of potential firing points to assist with patrolling and threat mitigation. It manages flight paths and taxiways and highlights the most likely firing positions against any target, as well as the technically possible ones.

Our Rapid Application Development environment combined with short, iterative software development cycles enables us to deliver timely upgrades and enhancements to each solution we provide. Because of this, we fulfil many Urgent Operational Requirements.
