The UK Government has confirmed an additional £470 million investment to strengthen security at critical military sites, alongside £240 million for enhanced counter-drone capabilities through Project PRESAGIUM. The announcement reflects growing recognition that military installations and critical national infrastructure must be prepared for a changing security environment, including physical intrusion,
Installing a perimeter security system is an important step in protecting your premises, but installation alone doesn’t guarantee reliable protection indefinitely. Over time, environmental conditions, physical damage, equipment deterioration and changes around your site can affect how well a security system operates. A fence-mounted sensor that once performed reliably may
Recent reports of two Latvian nationals being arrested on suspicion of trespass offences at RAF Molesworth have once again highlighted the importance of robust perimeter protection at sensitive sites. The incident followed the discovery of a breach in the perimeter of the Cambridgeshire RAF base. While the circumstances surrounding the
Electrical substation security starts at the boundary. A perimeter fence provides a physical barrier, but operators also need to know when someone attempts to climb, cut or interfere with it. A Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) adds active detection to the site perimeter. When specified and installed correctly, it can
A security fence can be an important first line of defence, but a fence on its own does not necessarily tell you when someone is trying to breach your site. For sites protecting critical infrastructure, industrial facilities, data centres, energy sites, transport infrastructure and other high-value locations, the ability to
Brownfield industrial sites present unique security challenges. Unlike newly developed facilities, these sites often contain ageing infrastructure, modified layouts, legacy fencing and operational areas that have evolved over many years. These conditions can make it difficult to maintain consistent perimeter protection and identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited. For operators
