Posted by Courtney E. Howard

DALLAS, 10 Sept. 2011. TerraHawk LLC, a Texas-based small business, demonstrated its Mobile Utility Surveillance Tower (MUST) technology to House and Senate members and staff on Thursday, September 8. Law-enforcement agencies are using MUST patented technology for emergency response, public event crowd control, general surveillance, and as a deterrence asset against drug trafficking and other illegal activity near U.S. borders.

The MUST solution, called a ruggedly versatile platform by company representatives, integrates state-of-the-art thermal cameras, ground radar, and other surveillance technology and can be deployed within two minutes. A single person can operate the vehicle and deploy the surveillance capsule without ever leaving the safety of the interior. The ease of deployment improves the protection of those in the field, and provides a new capability against those trying to circumvent the surveillance net.

TerraHawk’s MUST technology is being employed for border security by U.S. police departments and sheriff departments along the Texas Border.
