COUNTER TERROR AWARDS – 6th MARCH 2018

sponsored by

Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the Counter Terror Awards, where public and private sector organisations from the UK and overseas are recognised in ten categories for their contributions to reducing the threat from global terrorism.

2017 was the most challenging year for the police and security services for decades. Attacks, such as the tragic events at the Manchester Arena in May where 22 people, many of them children, lost their lives to a suicide bomber, are tragic reminders of the threats we face. We are all eternally grateful to the emergency services, many of whom are in attendance today, for their work in responding to these incidents.

In 2017, arrests on suspicion of terrorism-related offences were up more than 50 per cent on the previous year, and for every arrest made, there may have been many other potential suspects whom the security services have scrutinised. We applaud their efforts to counter the threat, along with the range of interventions that have been adopted to reduce risk, such as community cohesion projects, counter terrorism education and the overall decision process which leads to appropriate actions being taken to prevent and mitigate the effects of terrorist incidents. These are highly detailed, and the result of many years experience in countering terrorism.

It is heartening to see this best practice being shared across the globe.

While the Awards recognise projects and strategies funded by the public sector, these are often made possible by innovative products and services from the commercial sector. Communication systems, Information Technology and CBRNE protection equipment are all recognised along with physical defence systems that can be put in place to make it harder for attackers to infiltrate business and infrastructure.

As well as those in attendance, we would like thank our sponsors and supporters. We would also like to thank our partners, Clarion Events, who continue to increase the relevance of the number one global event for counter terrorism – Security and Counter Terror Expo.

Our thanks also go out to our knowledgable judging panel, and to Sir Michael Fallon for presenting the Awards. Through these, and through Counter Terror Business magazine, we will continue to play our part.

Yours sincerely Jason Devoto Managing Director – PSi Group

COUNTER TERROR AWARDS – 6th MARCH 2018

Transport Security Award

sponsored by

Recognising the efforts of private and public sector organisations and the technology which assists in increasing security at airports, ports and borders.

H Regal Maritime Solutions Stowaways present a range of problems for ship owners. The financial costs of repatriating a stowaway if found after the vessel leaves port are very high, not to mention the danger the crew would be put in should a stowaway be discovered whilst the vessel is underway. Regal Maritime Solutions deploys highly experienced maritime security teams on board merchant and private vessels. Made up of ex-military personnel, the teams possess unmatched skill and expertise when it comes to securing a vessel making port calls in high risk regions.

H ATG Access ATG Access has designed, manufactured and supplied security products to a number of global airports, including Singapore Changi Airport, Heathrow and New Doha International Airports. The company produces a vast range of products that can be retrofitted to already operational sites quickly and with minimal disruption. ATG has utilised its engineering capabilities to produce strong products that can stop hostile vehicle attacks for various other transport security applications.

H Stobart Air The inclusion of behavioural detection and awareness modules in Stobart Air’s crew training has enhanced its ability to identify problems on the ground before they become actual threats in the air. Cyber Threat Awareness, Recognition of Firearms and Explosives and Hostile Reconnaissance Awareness are included in its crew training. An annual scenario-based Emergency Response Plan in co-ordination with crisis management advisors Kenyon International, involves all key staff running a seamless response to an emergency event.

H Amulet Ballistic Barriers Amulet’s barrier technology is designed to be integrated directly into all types of commercial furniture, architectural walls, custom millwork and interior design elements and is capable of protecting life during active-shooter and blast events. The incorporation of Amulet technology in Arcona’s ‘Flyaway’ seating will dramatically increase the survivability of airport violence and is used by American Airlines and others – a fresh approach to protecting the traveling public directly within the airport terminal environment.

H Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 10080 XCT scanners combine high resolution X-ray technology, computed tomography and advanced detection algorithms to increase both security and operational efficiency. With a very fast belt speed and large rectangular tunnel, these scanners offer a continuously high throughput of up to 1,800 bags per hour. They can be updated as necessary in the future to detect new explosive threats. Smiths Detection recently installed 14 Hi-SCAN’s at Düsseldorf Airport in Germany.

Counter Terrorism IT Product Award

sponsored by

This award recognises the Information Technology product which has been proven to assist in counter terror strategy and preventing cyber terrorism.

H BrainChip Inc – BrainChip Studio Forensic Search Software In video surveillance, the speed and accuracy of analysis are key concerns.

BrainChip Studio can be used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to rapidly identify patterns or faces in large amounts of video footage. The software’s forensic search capabilities enable results to be achieved within hours, meaning one individual can search across multiple video sources, faster and more accurately than a team of several people. The tool can save critical time and enable the deployment of manpower and other resources to other crucial tasks.

H Cognitec Systems GmbH - FaceVACS-DBScan LE The latest release of Cognitec Systems’ FaceVACS-DBScan combines the company’s image database search technology with powerful video inspection tools. It enables fast import of video footage and detailed investigations of the extracted facial images. Agents can find known or unknown persons in multiple videos to quickly narrow down suspect investigations. For example, the investigation can reveal if a suspect was seen in various locations within a set time window, always with the same group of persons, or in one location too many times during the day.

H Patriot One (UK) – PATSCAN CMR Concealed Weapon Detection Patriot One Technologies Inc. has partnered with McMaster University and radar expert Dr. Natalia Nikolova to commercialise a system to detect concealed weapons using microwave radar technologies and custom software.

The PATSCAN CMR concealed weapon detection radar device and SaaS software aims to address a growing active threat phenomenon that is driving an increase in weapon detection research globally. The system can be covertly deployed at key access points in buildings, event venues, and stadiums.

This award recognises communication systems and their potential to assist organisations in both threat detection and post-terrorism communication between governmental and emergency service organisations.

H Audax Global Solutions – BioAx Body Cameras Audax’s development of Body Worn Video technology was first introduced in 2006 for a joint project with Devon & Cornwall Police and the UK Home Office. This led to the first ever standards and guidance document for BWV being produced. Bio-AX® contains an enhanced staff ‘safety blanket’ alarm feature, with capability for remote access, remote memory wipe and redaction software all built in to a ‘Security and Privacy by design’ product. Coupled with GPS Google Mapping, all user actions from the Bio-AX® are logged, creating a complete chain of custody.

H goTenna – Secure digital tactical mesh networking radio goTenna has created a relatively low cost, secure digital tactical mesh networking radio, the goTenna Pro, which is roughly the size and weight of a candy bar. Working closely with leading security teams such as FBI Hostage Rescue, US Secret Service, US Department of Homeland Security, USSOCOM, DEA, UK SAS etc - the company identified that the most important transmissions that had to be communicated in security operations were simple geospatial situational awareness and basic command/control messaging. This shows users their team and dangers, as well as a way to marshal them.

H Primetech – MultiNet Comms ground communications solutions The MultiNet Comms range answers a real need among emergency services and security and counter terror forces for more flexible, high capacity incident ground communications, helping them improve their response to major public safety threats. The MultiNet Comms family all have certain features in common; they are all highly portable and self-supporting, featuring lithium polymer batteries that are light, powerful, and capable of easy recharging; and are all capable of linking together to form high bandwidth networks across incident grounds.

H State Security Networks Group / AirBus / Motorola Roaming The network coverage for Virve devices and other equipment for officials has ended soon after crossing the border. This was the motivation for combining Virve and Nødnett using an Inter-System‑Interface (ISI) solution. Now Finnish Virve phones can be used to make calls in the entire Norwegian administrative radio network and they can also be operated using Norwegian Nødnett base stations.

The project began in February 2017 when a preliminary agreement was concluded. The technical implementation has taken one year.

Presented to the private sector organisation which has designed and/or installed physical security measures to protect buildings and individuals from terrorist attacks.

H Abloy – CLIQ® Connect / Protec2 CLIQ® Introduction Key Control Developed to meet the security and integration demands of Critical Infrastructure, CLIQ® technology allows flexible control of access rights and provides audit trails for the lock as well as the individual. The PROTEC2 CLIQ® system seamlessly integrates electronic and mechanical technology. Using Abloy’s patented rotating disc cylinder mechanism, PROTEC2 delivers exceptional mechanical security. The transfer of data is secured using the highest (AES) encryption and future developments in mobile functionalities will be fully supported.

H Bradbury Group – Vertex Gates Vertex Gates protect against terrorism by providing a physical perimeter barrier to an accredited security standard, whilst also meeting operational requirements and stringent life safety measures. The high security barrier is engineered so that any member of the public is able to open or close the gate in the event of an emergency, and will protect transport stations across the Capital and beyond. It is suited to the perimeter protection of all high traffic areas, such as transport hubs, stadia, and shopping centres.

H Navtech Radar – AdvanceGuard perimeter surveillance system Navtech Radar’s AdvanceGuard is a fully automatic, radar-based perimeter surveillance system which detects the exact location of intruders anywhere on a site in all weather conditions. The radars are positioned around the site and complete a full 360° scan several times a second. During each scan, every object is accurately positioned and displayed to the operator through an intuitive graphical interface. Zones with different security levels can be quickly defined or modified with a few clicks of a mouse.

H Frontier Pitts – Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Side Folding Bollard The Terra Quantum Side Folding Retractable Bollard has successfully been PAS 68 tested, stopping a 7.5t vehicle travelling at 30mph with zero penetration past the bollard. It rises/retracts with a side folding motion, unlike other retractable bollards which raise vertically. This feature has certainly invigorated the Frontier Pitts brand within the architectural and street furniture sectors. Frontier Pitts also has a solution where a HVM bollard is required on a site which only has shallow foundation depths due to existing utilities and underground services.

H Heald – Matador surface-mount automatic bollard system Heald’s PAS68 crash tested surface-mount perimeter protection product, the Matador, is an example of where existing locations face a real issue in retro-fitting products due to underground cables, gas pipes etc. and a highly secure solution is required which provides the same level of protection as other products on the market. Orders for the Matador have increased considerably for the past few years, with overall turnover growth expected to top 30 per cent this financial year.

COUNTER TERROR AWARDS – 6th MARCH 2018

Counter Terror Policing Award

sponsored by

Recognising the efforts of the police sector in combatting domestic terrorism through prevention strategies and operational excellence.

H Civil Nuclear Constabulary Since its inception three years ago, CNC has worked closely with the Cabinet Office, OSCT and military to develop an emergency responsive plan which delivers over 400 armed police officers across the UK in support of the national Operation Temperer.

CNC has deployed twice under this plan; in May 2017 after the Manchester bombings and again in September 2017 following the Parsons Green attack. On both occasions, with just a few hours’ notice CNC successfully moved these large numbers of armed officers from all over the UK.

H National Counter Terrorism Policing – ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) ACT, a new strategy launched in 2017, is designed to encourage the public to play a part in helping tackle the terrorist threat. When attacks have occurred in the past, people have said they suspected something was wrong but were worried they might be wasting police time, yet some of the highest priority investigations have benefited from information police have received from communities. The ACT campaign, which features videos and podcasts to re-enforce its message, aims to make the public feel comfortable with reporting any potential suspicious activity or online content.

H City of London Police – Project Servator Project Servator is the name given to unpredictable, highly visible police deployments, designed to deter, detect and disrupt a wide range of criminal activity. The tactics are designed to deny, disrupt and detect hostile reconnaissance that may be carried out. They involve specially-trained officers supported by other resources, such as police dogs. The City of London Police was the first police force to introduce Servator deployments in February 2014.

This launch followed several years of planning and development with the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI).

COUNTER TERROR AWARDS – 6th MARCH 2018

UAV Product Award

sponsored by

Presented to the most innovative product developed for the purpose of protection against hostile drones.

H Drone Defence – SkyFence™ electronic countermeasures system SkyFence™ creates an electronic fence which extends up to 500m in height that a drone cannot penetrate. By disrupting the drone’s command and navigation radio transmissions it harmlessly stops the flight, using multiple low-powered radio transmitters which are strategically placed around the protected site. When activated, they transmit a signal which is designed to overwhelm the drone’s radio transmissions. This breaks the control and video link between the drone and its operator, causing no harm to the drone or any personnel on the ground.

H Robin Radar Systems – ELVIRA® Drone Detection Radar ELVIRA® covers a full 360 degrees, detecting and tracking larger fixed-wing targets (20kg) at a range up to 9km and smaller multi-rotor drones (3kg) at up to 3km. Most important, however, is the classification of drones (vs. say a bird), which is 1,100m and above for small drones (3kg). Being radar technology, ELVIRA® requires line of sight between itself and the target. Unlimited coverage can be attained with the ability to network multiple ELVIRAs into one unambiguous picture, with ith simple integration to existing sensor networks

H OpenWorks Engineering Ltd – SkyWall Counter Drone Technology SkyWall Counter Drone Technology is a net capture system that neutralises any type of small drone. Damage to both the drone and the surrounding area is minimised by controlling the descent with a parachute, allowing forensic investigation. The SkyWall range offers defence in handheld and mounted autonomous systems.

SkyWall100 is a mobile, handheld system, while SkyWall300 is a mounted system that can be installed on mobile or fixed assets. It is environmentally protected and can be fully automatic when integrated with detection systems.

H PDA Electronics – Repulse® Repluse® is a lightweight standalone unit which produces an electronic shield/no fly zone in excess of 1km vertically and horizontally, impenetrable by any commercially available drone using 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz for control. When a drone attempts to fly into the electronic shield/no fly zone, the countermeasure signal denies the operator any form of control. Upon loss of control signal the drone will execute its safety protocol which 99 per cent of the time to return to its take off point, other safety protocols are to land softly or to hover until the battery runs out then land softly.
