To
counter the increasing threat of piracy around the world, Wallop will
also be showing their new Anti Piracy deterrent TRITON, a simple to
use on-board rocket launching system for commercial ships and coastguard
vessels.
TRITON launches illuminating or noise making rockets up to 1.8km from
the ship to alert the pirates they have been discovered before they
get close enough to attack.
“Piracy is currently costing the global market over $10billion
a year.” Commented Ian Thurston, Business Development Manager
at Wallop Defence Systems. “Triton is a highly effective, low
cost system which gives the user a real and significant advantage in
these threat situations. We are looking forward to attending DIMDEX
2012 and showing our important Middle Eastern markets how Wallop Defence
Systems can help them get the best value from their maritime countermeasures
budgets, whether they are military or commercial.”
