SDS Awarded with the Security Industry’s Largest Order for Gunshot Detection Systems
Summary
As a result of these examinations, SDS was sole-sourced as the customer’s chosen gunshot detection provider and awarded a five year contract with the customer. With Guardian at the heart of this initiative, the system will report gunshot events to the Global Security Operations Center as well as to localized employees in the area of the threat. More importantly, this order is systemic of the trend that we are seeing where large corporations and venues across the U.S. are applying our technology to aid in mitigating the growing active shooter threat,” said Connors. The customer plans to incorporate an additional 3,000 sensors in the near future to expand the gunshot detection project and cover their remaining locations outside of California. Developed in conjunction with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Raytheon/BBN, SDS’ Guardian gunshot detection system is SAFETY Act Certified by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Approved for U.K. Government Use by the Centre for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure (CPNI), and SL4 Certified by the Australian Government’s Security Construction & Equipment Committee (SCEC), certifications exclusively held by their leading product, the Guardian Indoor Active Shooter Detection System.
