Piracy and Terrorism have become a real threat to mariners over the past decade. As a result, the U.S. Coast Guard published a Maritime Security Directive, which provides guidelines to ship owner’s, whose vessels operate in high risk waters. Within that directive, there are specific product technologies recommended, which increase safety and security. Within this directive, it is recommended to have… “Non-lethal methods for repulsing attacks”, and use products which include… “Night Vision Devices, High Beam Searchlights, Cameras, etc.” These excerpts were taken directly from the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Security Directive 104-6, published May 22nd, 2009 (
).
).The Carlisle & Finch Co. offers products which not only have the necessary security features to combat piracy and terrorism, but strictly follow these U.S. Coast Guard guidelines. The following is a partial listing of unique Carlisle & Finch offerings, which will help mariners sail safely, through high-risk waters:
- Bullet-Resistant Reflectors: Helps resist shattering if the searchlight is impacted by bullets.
- NightFINDER™ Camera Feature (): Embedded Thermal Camera on Searchlight Pan/Tilt Base provides greater Night Vision Capability, and allows the Camera to be used as a “Covert Targeting Device” to instantly and accurately light up the intruder!
- LED “Hybrid” Feature (): Auxiliary LED Light Modules provide a blinding “Wall of Light”, which helps deny the night vision of the intruder.
- High Powered Strobe: The Xenon Beam and LED Modules, can be switched into “strobe mode”, which provides a disorienting and dizzying effect on the intruder, thereby transforming the system instantly into a powerful Non-lethal Weapon!
