Homeland Security

To reduce manpower and increase physical security on the home front, autonomous robots are being used in conjunction with cutting edge scanning and detection technologies to non-lethally secure warehouses, airfields, ammunition supply depots, port facilities, and other fixed sites.

Operating day, night, and in all-weather conditions, MDARS robots randomly patrol assigned areas and use integrated sensors, video recording, and two-way communication to detect and pre-screen intruders. Remotely located security personnel can assess the level of threat and act decisively from a safe location.

Inventory, barriers, and locks are monitored by an onboard RFID tag system. Scanning up to 60,000 tags and 2,500 locks within a single 12-hour patrol shift, MDARS immediately detects tampering and identifies misplaced or missing inventory.

Integrated access controls and video interfaces secure indoor and outdoor perimeters, and onscreen site maps expose protected areas, immediately revealing and isolating potential threats.
