SMART GATE / MOBILE SENTRY
Protecting the lives of our sailors and our ships from an intrusive event by a terrorist threat is a complex yet high priority force protection challenge that is faced both at home and around the world. After the terrorist attacks against the USS Cole and the events of 9-11, the Chief of Naval Operations directed CNO-34/NCIS-24 to begin investigating solutions that would increase security and accountability and at the same time provide convenience to military and civilian personnel while reducing the overall manpower.

The Navy called on Beacon to develop an integrated solution using COTS products to provide a low risk, high dividend solution for countering physical threats...

The Results

SmartGate/Mobile Sentry solution provides that capability to know and control exactly who is allowed access to the base and when. Through the deployment of automated vehicle ID and Long Range Smartcard readers as well as manned lanes using wireless PDA’s, Force Protection personnel can validate both the vehicle and the cardholder as they enter or leave a facility as an enhancement to perimeter security.
