DP World, UAE Region’s next-generation security solutions provider World Security has launched the first autonomous security surveillance boat in the Middle East to upgrade security and surveillance at Jebel Ali Port, Mina Rashid, Mina Al Hamriya and other facilities in the UAE.
The advanced, specifically customized security boat introduces an extra dimension to World Security’s portfolio of solutions, demanded by the uncertainty of the current changing environment caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The fully autonomous surveillance boat, which can be remotely controlled, is capable of day and night operations with Way-Point Tracking’ capabilities and programmable, fail-safe protocols for security and interception purposes.
Other key features include advanced robotics and surveillance equipment including a sophisticated camera with an uninterrupted 360-degree view, and Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) that communicate with the command and control station in real-time.
“Deploying the state-of-the-art fully autonomous surveillance boat adds another layer of safety and protection for our ports and terminals, which play an important role in the global supply chain,” noted Mohammed Al Muallem, CEO and Managing Director, DP World, UAE Region.
