PALMDALE, CALIF.
- September 19, 2007 - Delta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist
vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, today
announced that its new DSC 400 Early Warning System uses Doppler Radar and Digital
Loop Detector technology to alert guards to activate security measures, including
raising their Delta vehicle barricades. Continuous Doppler Radar picks up instantaneous
changes in velocity and addresses the potential threat of an inbound vehicle
approaching at normal speeds and then accelerating to attack. It also warns
if a hidden vehicle suddenly passes a larger vehicle and attempts an attack.
"The DSC
400 Early Warning System is best applied at locations where there is a long
and relatively straight run into the facility that would allow a large vehicle
to build up its speed," explains David Dickinson, Delta Scientific senior
vice president. "A vehicle traveling at 60 mph (96 kph) can cover 88 feet
per second (2.68 m/sec) so it is imperative that the guards be alerted immediately.
Every second counts."
The Delta DSC
400 Early Warning System consists of radar antennas that look like and install
similar to video surveillance cameras. They can be positioned on top of guard
booths or on poles looking into the facility or out. The system includes the
circuitry and logic to trigger an alarm panel when a preset speed is exceeded
or when a vehicle drives in an exit lane while attempting to go around a guard
booth.
The new DSC
400 Early Warning System is now available. More information is available at
