PROTECT is an automated hardware/software system that integrates chemical detectors, closed-circuit TV (CCTV), dispersion modeling, and optimal response protocols to improve detection and reaction to complex terrorist attacks involving chemical agents. The system provides accurate, early detection and verification in confined spaces within densely populated areas, such as in city buildings and urban transportation systems. Alarm and response management capabilities assist infrastructure operators and first responders by pinpointing release areas and projected dispersion zones, and then recommending appropriate, predetermined response scenarios.
Applications
- Mass transit subway/ pedway tunnels
- Single- or multimodal transportation facilities
- Lower-level entrances and concourses
- High-value buildings and event facilities
- Temporary installations
- High-threat events and remote locations
