A Tremendous
Risk
Global trade sustains 30 percent of the world’s
economy. (U.S. share, $2 trillion.) Shipping
portals, borders, and airports drive world trade,
but they must accommodate the coming and going of
highly susceptible cargoes. And therein lies a
tremendous risk. Terrorism.
Seven million containers enter U.S. ports annually.
A 60-to-600-pound nuclear weapon in one container
can unleash destruction in a flash, creating mayhem
and crippling world trade.
Risk Prevention
Information is the key to prevention, provided it’s
shared and analyzed. The reality is that government
data in “stovepipe" systems deny access to outside
users.
Mariner's CommandBridge technologies empower
information sharing, analysis, and dissemination
across agency lines. This web-based technology lets
intelligence analysts dissect information and make
actionable recommendations rather than merely
collect data. Advanced anomaly detection techniques
applied to information automatically generate
tailored alerts to essential users, letting them
study real threats.
Consider this: a suspicious vessel heads toward a
U.S. seaport. CommandBridge determines its terrorism
potential by fusing information from the U.S. Coast
Guard, port authorities, harbor pilots, and law
enforcement agencies. Blended with satellite
imagery, the information simultaneously displays
real-time to local, regional, or federal
authorities. A ‘force multiplier,’ it lets military,
law enforcement, and homeland security increase your
security. Significantly.
