OPSEC in advanced perimeter security technology and leading-edge maritime Anti-Piracy Technology, APT, marketing deal


LONDON, U.K., January 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Operational Security Ltd, OPSEC announced today that they have entered into distribution and sales agreements with Triton International Ltd to market the OPSEC distributed advanced perimeter security technology and leading-edge maritime Anti-Piracy Technology, APT, in India, Africa and the Middle East. The OPSEC’s perimeter security technologies include state-of-the-art surveillance, monitoring and access control systems. The APT System Solution provides automated, seamless integration of the most advanced small-target radar, OPSEC’s MEIA-exclusive long range day/night cameras and optional thermal imaging systems, and American Technology Corporation’s Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), with new water jet and “dazzle” laser deterrent options now available.

“The combination of this technology, with the Triton Maritime Support Program (TMSP), our Vessel Protection capability and critically, our Partnership with the Somaliland Coastguard, makes the OPSEC /Triton offering a very powerful and relevant capability for the Shipping Industry and Coastal Guarding programs” said Simon Jones, CEO of Triton International Ltd”. “Piracy has escalated beyond reasonable expectations and due to the varied and widespread movements of the Pirates between the Gulf of Aden, the Indian Ocean and increasingly, the Gulf of Guinea; the naval task Forces cannot protect every vessel transiting these routes. It is rapidly becoming the responsibility of the Shipping Companies to protect their own vessels and this capability, with the combination of this cutting edge technology and TMSP - our Specialist Prevention Expertise, working with our Coastguard Partners, is a proven and unbeatable combination of layered and managed escalation responses, compliant with Industry Best Management Practice and International Maritime Law”.

“I believe these represent some of the most exciting security-related technologies available today,” said Peter Earnshaw, Managing Director of Operational Security Ltd. “We believe APT is the only really comprehensive and effective technical anti-piracy solution available to the maritime community, offering 24/7 protection with automated and integrated long-range detection, identification, tracking, recording, communication and deterrence. It is with great pleasure that we engage with Triton International Ltd’s Piracy prevention experts and their Somaliland Coastguard partners, we feel privileged to have this opportunity to participate in bringing these technologies to the Middle East, Indian and African market.” With their knowledge and experience in the maritime domain, Triton international Ltd is the right partner to support bringing this powerhouse to market in the coming year.”
