Dynetics to Introduce Affordable Surveillance Sensor for Airport Situational Awareness at Conference

Dec. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Dynetics will introduce a new advanced, affordable and reconfigurable surveillance sensor system, Dynetics RapidDetect, at the 12th Annual Aviation Security Summit Dec. 10-11 in Arlington, Va. Integrating state-of-the-art digital beamforming radar, real-time video technologies and other optional sensor technologies in a network-centric architecture, the system will quickly and accurately detect and identify slow-moving objects – including people, vehicles, and animals – that commonly pose security and safety risks within airport environments.

Dynetics will host live demonstrations of RapidDetect in the company’s booth (#16) at the Aviation Security Summit, plus provide attendees with opportunities to interact with architects of the Dynetics technology.  The Summit, which is sponsored by the American Association of Airport Executives, the U.S. Transportation Safety Administration and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, will be held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City.

RapidDetect attains exceptionally high performance against slow-moving objects by combining an innovative architecture with advanced algorithms that enable the radar to “learn” its environment. As a result, RapidDetect maximizes sensitivity, while minimizing false alarms and operator training time. RapidDetect’s benefits for aviation security stakeholders include the following:

·         Minimal distractions to radar operators from false alarms

·         Easy in-the-field reconfiguration to meet custom requirements, including integration with infrared sensors, video cameras and other sensors

·         Real-time, web-based situational awareness and visual identification of threats

·         All-weather durability

·         Time and labor savings with remote technical support and management

·         Affordability of commercial off-the-shelf components

·         Product development and technical support from company with nearly four decades of sensor technology experience

“We are pleased to introduce Dynetics RapidDetect to the aviation security community,” said Tom Baumbach, president of Dynetics. “In this community, real-time situational awareness is critical. We’re confident that RapidDetect provides the accuracy that airports need, without all the ‘false alarms.’ With RapidDetect, we help airport security avoid wasted time and attention, thereby enabling greater focus on real threats.”
