The UGV, a Mobile Detection Assessment Response System, has begun three days of demonstration use near the airport for the Israel Airports Authority
Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) equipped with weapons and cameras will soon be in operation, carrying out perimeter security at Ben-Gurion International Airport.
The UGV is Mobile Detection Assessment Response System - a mobile robotic security platform that can conduct random patrols at large fixed installations, such as warehouses and ammunition storage sites and airports. It can also conduct such physical security tasks as intruder detection, assessment, lock/barrier checks, and alarm response. According to the manufacturers such vehicles would help prevent terrorist infiltrations.
The UGV, made in Canada, has begun three days of demonstration use near the airport for the Israel Airports Authority.
In a statement issued by the Authority it was noted that if trails are successful the UGV will be put into service to assist jeep-mounted security personnel in their patrols of the airport perimeter fence.
