PHYSICAL SECURITY
Next-Generation Ballistic Protection Ensures Long-Term
Utility Security
Modular blast protection and detection systems can safeguard power stations
from physical attack. Yet, if attackers are successful, energy wave technology
can alert teams and deploy drones to assess damage. This article provides an
overview of how this technology works and how it can be used in conjunction
with more traditional remote monitoring technologies to give a robust analysis
of a power grid's status. (Visit powermag.com and search " Next-Generation
Ballistic Protection " to read this online-only exclusive.)
