Using Existing Technology To Improve Efficiency For Law Enforcement
Temecula CA (SPX) Oct 14, 2008 Raytheon assembled 15 industry vendors Sept. 26 to demonstrate how off-the-shelf technologies can be integrated to provide greater effectiveness to military, law enforcement and first responder operations. The demonstrations, held at the French Valley Airport in Temecula, Calif., were attended by an array of national, state and local public officials from the Los Angeles and San Diego areas. "Throughout the country, there are law enforcement and first responder professionals who are looking to improve their effectiveness using the technology that already exists," said Gene Blackwell, Raytheon vice president of the Rapid Initiatives Group. "For that reason, we tried to assemble public officials to demonstrate the art of the possible." One of the demonstrations used existing technology for affordable air surveillance. Timely processing of sensor data produced valuable information for quicker and more accurate decision-making. This persistent surveillance system was mounted on an ultralight aircraft and flown during the demonstrations. A hyperblimp was also used to demonstrate how users can survey a specific geographic area more efficiently. All the demonstrations showed different ways to increase efficiency in detecting, identifying, responding and eliminating threats for force protection, counterterror and first responder missions.
