National Airshow Uses FutureSentry Technology

  • Sep 27, 2011

FutureSentry, a developer of automated detection solutions designed to enhance security, today announces that its First Responder solution was selected to provide perimeter security at a world-renowned air enthusiast’s show in Oshkosh, Wis.

Specified by Mitchell Christian, owner of Cyber Consulting & Security, the integrator was contracted by show sponsors, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), to provide security at AirVenture 2011, billed as the “World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration.”

Held annually in Oshkosh, the show draws more than a half-million visitors during the seven-day event, including high-level executives, government officials, EAA members, fans and spectators. During the show, Wittman Regional Airfield is transformed into the busiest airport in the world, with planes like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner prototype, a replica of the Navy’s original N-1 Curtiss Pusher, Boeing F/A-18 combat jets, FIFI the Boeing 29 bomber “war bird” and other naval and experimental aircraft landing on site.

Christian deployed the First Responder at the ConocoPhillips Plaza, where many of the aircraft were stationed during the show. The automated detection solution First Responder mimics the actions of a security guard to prevent crime before loss or damage occurs and Christian said the unit worked perfectly to deter potentially dangerous incidents and behavior during the event. He positioned First Responder on a mobile trailer, securing several of high-level planes, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

“It’s totally portable,” said Christian, adding that First Responder lends itself to a variety of applications. “It can run up to three weeks on battery power.”

He integrated the First Responder with surveillance cameras, using its available alarm output circuitry to wire two analog pan-tilt-zoom cameras, which were configured to trigger on alarm or alert for video viewing or recording for evidence at 30 fps.

“What attracted me to the solution was the lights used on it; it’s a great deterrent, and if you can deter criminals or activity, that’s going to stop a lot of incidents,” he said. “It was a major success and I will be looking at doing more applications with the system in the future."

  • Gaining a Competitive Edge

    Ask most companies about their future technology plans and the answers will most likely include AI. Then ask how they plan to deploy it, and that is where the responses may start to vary. Every company has unique surveillance requirements that are based on market focus, scale, scope, risk tolerance, geographic area and, of course, budget. Those factors all play a role in deciding how to configure a surveillance system, and how to effectively implement technologies like AI. Read Now

  • 6 Ways Security Awareness Training Empowers Human Risk Management

    Organizations are realizing that their greatest vulnerability often comes from within – their own people. Human error remains a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches, making it imperative for organizations to address human risk effectively.

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
