For large areas with extensive borders or industrial campuses such as refineries, electrical power stations, or other utilities, UGVs can be used to great effect to patrol, monitor and interdict intrusion. Several variants have been designed and developed to meet the specific needs of clients.
Although some international airports are employing robotic trains to move passengers between terminals, most airport security organizations have been slow to embrace the application of robotic technologies to selected security tasks. The UGVs we offer can perform airfield perimeter patrols autonomously, thereby saving manpower while improving detection. A tele-operated UGV can be used to rapidly remove a suspicious package/suitcase from the airport terminal baggage handling area to a safe area where the Bomb Squad can dispose of the device. This innovative concept, inspired by the Operations Staff at Aéroport International Jean-Lesage de Québec, eliminates the need to shut down the terminal while the suspicious item is being dealt with.
Two systems that have been designed by the PRC/PRS Team are:
Remote Package Handling Systems (RPHS)
