Technological Advances to Allow Rapid Deployment of a High-Valued Asset Physical Protection System by Unskilled Personnel

In. recent years, traditional methods of operation in security situations have undergone a major shift. With the ending of the Cold War and the realignment of world power, resources once available for security concerns have been reduced or eliminated. As manpower allocations are reduced, new approaches are necessary to compensate for this loss. In addition, with the shift from superpower confrontation to local/regional conflict, response assets have become more mobile. This creates a new requirement for the physical protection of those items.In response to these changes, Racon, Inc. has successfully commercialized aphysical security sensor addressing both of these issues. Easily installed by unskilled personnel, these sensors utilize advanced technology to compensate for reduced manpower levels. In addition, their portable design allows them to travel with response assets, providing the physical security formerly found only infixed locations.
