When the world's movie stars graced the red carpet at the 2010
Academy Awards Oscars ceremony, few would have realised Cobham was
monitoring their safety. Cobham has more than 40 years' experience
providing products and integrated surveillance solutions to law
enforcement, national security and border patrol agencies. More
than 125 law enforcement agencies in 80 countries are using
Cobham's innovative audio, video, tracking, locating, sensors,
covert surveillance and search and rescue systems.
Police and emergency services, Special Forces and governments
depend on Cobham's array of overt and covert surveillance equipment
to intercept, track, locate, monitor and record subjects ranging
from vehicles and packages to people and high profile
infrastructure.
Cobham surveillance technology has monitored the approaches to
the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Indian Prime Minister's
vehicle convoy and dignitaries at the London G20 summit. It has
been involved behind the scenes in rebuilding after natural
disasters, in combating organised crime and enabling on-the-spot
police, ambulance and fire personnel to share vital video and data
with their operations centres.
Cobham's technology investment is market led and guided by the
technical specialists it employs, such as former members of the
Special Forces, bomb disposal squads and government agencies. The
resulting technology plays a vital role in the remote and hostile
environments of war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan, where
Cobham equipment is used in everything from remotely controlled
robots neutralising Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to unmanned
aircraft communicating vital data and video.
