P.Eye
The Portendo P.Eye represents the first commercial product for detecting explosives
and other threatful substances at safe distances (stand-off detection). Based on
proprietary technology, Portendo’s P.Eye family offers simple and effective deployment
in a wide range of scenarios, including road clearance and checkpoint control.
State-of-the-art technology
The P.Eye’s unique sensitivity enables detection and distinction of most explosive
compounds that may be hidden in cars, bags, bottles or carried by suicide bombers.
The P.Eye technology also enables detection of a number of threatening chemicals,
such as chemical and biological weapons, and toxic spills. The P.Eye is based on
Raman spectroscopy which identifies a wide range of compounds through their specific
signatures. The P.Eye processes the result and delivers a clear and understandable
result minimizing the need for training and special skills. This technology also
enables very accurate readings and limits the chance for false alarms.
Operation
The P.Eye technology can be used either as a stand-alone unit or connected to a
network, it works like a surveillance camera. Objects can be followed and zoomed
in on from a remote control centre. By using the built-in laser and spectrometer,
unidentified objects can be analyzed for explosives traces at distances exceeding
50 meters. This world leading performance allows detection of explosives threats
well outside the lethal radius of most Improvised Explosives Devices (IED) such
as car bombs.
Applications
Typical applications for the P.Eye family of products are either with fixed placement
or mounted on a vehicle. Typical fixed applications are:
- Security checkpoint and border control
- Perimeter protection to secure strategic buildings and objects
The P.Eye family also enables mobile detection for:
- Road clearance for safe military transport and operation
- Location and identification of threats
The Portendo P.Eye reduces the dangers involved in establishing secure point-of-entries,
areas and road clearance.
The Portendo P.Eye is available as a stand-alone product with PC and software for
surveillance and analysis. As an option, the P.Eye products can be integrated with
Portendo’s Operations Centre (OPC) and co-exist with other sensors and surveillance
equipment for centralized intelligence monitoring.
