AI capability able to identify up to date key site information and highly accurate GPS and Ordnance Survey accredited location data – e.g. small airfields and coastal landing points.

AI/ algorithmic enabled assessment of sites utilising sophisticated, bespoke, parameters (including seasonal changes and tidal range) applied to highly accurate data sets. This capability can be used to identify key vulnerable sites that could pose either a risk to, or an exploitable opportunity for clients. For example, this could assist LE in identifying coastal landing sites likely to be entry/ exit points for criminal enterprise and that, therefore, require greater police scrutiny and resourcing.

Industry leading 3D mapping of sites that is supremely accurate, in GPS and Ordnance Survey terms, and able to encompass any ‘incident’ overlays required by the client. This is achieved using the very latest technology along with accredited users and security specialist advisors. This ‘mapping’ can be utilised for briefing, training and live time capabilities. It is VR enabled to allow for remote training and briefing.

Sentry function. This is automated drone technology that is self-contained and with inbuilt AI designed to identify changes to the site and to then notify operatives of these changes in order for a response to be considered. For example, these changes could relate to potentially hazardous scenarios or the incursion of those attempting to adversely impact the sites. As such a key element of this capability is the regular scanning and assessment of perimeters and crucial infrastructure.

CBRN/ Hazardous material scanning, identification and notification. This is the latest capability developed by Temperer Global’s Technology Directorate. Utilising the cutting-edge drone technology as described sensors are able to scan of CBRN/ Hazardous material at a safe distance. This includes at sites, on aircraft and on vessels either alongside or at sea.

Live time operational support enabled by drone overwatch capability. The drones are state of the art and constantly upgraded to ensure the very latest service. They are piloted by personnel with CAA recognised and industry leading training along with thousands of hours flying time in both military and industry environments. This technology can identify changes in the landscape, operative location and hostile incursion which can be notified live time to a central control point.

In many cases it is not permissive, practical or safe to deploy people to environments that are confined or dangerous. As such the capability offers the service of remote deployment, scanning and search of confined and hazardous spaces. This carried out using the latest technology controlled by highly capable operatives alongside security and search specialists. This offers a safe and highly cost-effective method for dealing with a range of scenarios. For example, this technology could be deployed within ship holds, containers, vehicles, tunnels and culverts. It can also be equipped with the CBRN/ Hazardous sensor capability as described above.

Recognised by both accreditation bodies and industry drone related courses for both pilots and support functions are offered to clients. These are designed and delivered to meet the individual requirements of each client. All successful students leave training with a widely recognised accreditation and are then able to offer the highest standard of service to those requiring it.

As a group, we have some concerns around practices that still see outdated methods to support either operational planning, deployment and events, which will undoubtedly continue to see criticism post-event. We hope the impending ‘protect duty’, will support, guide, and potentially mandate affected agencies toward best practices.
