Abstract
The Pirate and Terrorist Aversion System PITAS is a joint R&D project led by Raytheon Anschütz, Kiel. It aims at improving the safety on merchant and leisure vessels as well as on offshore facilities. PITAS connects to existing infrastructure and consists of a variety of modules. The system is flexible and can be installed permanently, or temporarily from a mobile container. Key elements are:
-
knowledge data base tapping various communication networks
-
data analysis providing threat scenarios and routing options
-
systems design integrating sensors and effectors, alarms and reactions
-
novel optical sensors and repellents
-
novel sonar sensor array for diver detection
-
novel close-range RADAR
-
track management based on radar and sonar data
-
situation-specific reactions, alarms and communications
-
automated pan and tilt platform for effectors
-
safety and security concepts
-
integrated and ergonomic human machine interface.
