Astrata Case study
Challenge
The SCDF wanted to implement a system to carry out real-time tracking of vehicles carrying dangerous goods. This is to strengthen its ability to tackle unconventional chemical and biological threats as well as 'dirty' bombs ie. any Radiological Dispersal Device, radiological weapon which combines radioactive material with conventional explosives.
Solution
To meet the SCDF's requirements Astrata's Research and Development ("R&D") team for Homeland Security Products developed the Astrata Geo-Spatial Information Technology System (the "GEO-IT System"), an advanced tracking, monitoring, and control system. After a rigorous evaluation exercise, MapInfo's MapX® software was chosen as the mapping technology for the HazMat Transport Vehicle Tracking System for the SCDF.
