Drones and Robotics
Advanced robotics have furthered the development of autonomous systems, which increasingly have produced unmanned platforms for security applications. Robots that can defuse bombs, for example, can mitigate specific threats while safeguarding human lives. So too have drones widened the use of video surveillance from the air. SIA tracks the latest developments in such technologies for its members.
The Impact of Reliable Wireless Infrastructure on Advanced Security Technologies
How network connectivity fills the space between man and machine for public safety Outdoors, indoors, above ground and below, in suburbs and cities, machines will act as 24/7 sentinels. In performing this task, they will require continuous network connections. Wearable high-tech devices, meanwhile, will be common accessories for public safety officers and citizens alike. The…
