The 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program

Sponsored by ATI Systems, Sharp Electronics, Automatic Systems America and Robotic Assistance Devices!

American Security Today’s 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Awards Presentation Luncheon at ISC East was an overwhelming success, with distinguished guests from National, State and Local Governments, and Industry Leading Corporate Executives from companies allied to Government.

Over 100 professionals gathered from across North America and the Middle East to be honored from disciplines across the Security Industry in their respective fields which included:

• The Department of Homeland Security
• The Department of Justice
• The Security Exchange Commission
• State and Municipal Law Enforcement Agencies, and
• Leaders in Private Security

Recognized for their Innovative Training and Education Programs, Outstanding Product Development Achievements and Exciting New Technologies to address the growing Homeland Security Threats our Nation is facing.

American Security Today was formed after careful reflection of 9/11 and its aftermath when the Department of Homeland Security was established and there was an immediate explosion of new products and solutions for what was perceived as an imminent second attack on primary targets in the United States.

As time moved forward from 9/11 itself and in recent years, the threats to our nation have evolved from a large scale 9/11 type attack to:

• Domestic and International Terrorist Attacks carried out by ‘lone wolves’ and coordinated individuals
• Cybersecurity breach attacks against our government agencies, financial institutions and critical infrastructure facilities
• Unprecedented urban violence
• Cultural shifts and societal media bias, which make it increasingly difficult to secure our nation in this constantly evolving threat environment.

These current circumstances have put forward another rapid expansion of new ideas, products and solutions to combat these ever changing challenges.

These changes have called for a new generation of security experts in the Homeland Security and Public Safety fields who need real time knowledge of our ever growing threats.

These experts include the Government at the Federal, State and Local levels as well as from Private Firms specializing in Physical Security, Port Security, Law Enforcement, First Responders, Military and Private Security responsible for implementing coordinated security measures to ensure our Nation’s Security and improve Public Safety.

Together, each of these entities work together seamlessly on the front lines of protecting our communities, to ‘Keep our Nation Secure, One City at a Time.’

AST focuses on Homeland Security and Public Safety Breaking News, the Newest IniPublic Safety Breaking News, the Newest Initiatives and Hottest Technologies in Physical & IT Security, essential to meeting today’s growing security challenges.

To highlight the tremendous accomplishments of agencies and firms receiving this prestigious award, be on the the lookout for American Security Today’s Annual December ‘ASTORS’ Champions Edition – ‘Year in Review.’

American Security Today would like to take this opportunity to thank each Nominated Organization, and ‘ASTORS’  Award Winner for Your Exemplary Service to Our Nation.

Leadership & Innovation in Homeland Security

AST would like to thank our ‘ASTORS’ Award Luncheon Attendees for traveling long distances and making time to honor the new and established industry vendors and government agencies that are providing new solutions and programs to address the evolving Homeland Security threats American’s are now facing.

To our Program Sponsors thank you for your generous support of the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program Sponsors:

Robotic Assistance Devices

Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD), an innovator in artificial intelligence and robotics, and exclusive North American assembly partner for SMP Robotics, is a Featured Sponsor of the 2017‘ASTORS’ Awards.

The SMP/RAD Robotics S5 Robotic Guard is a fully autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that utilizes advanced artificial intelligence systems to augment traditional patrolling services by detecting unauthorized human and vehicle outdoor activity in restricted areas.

The security robot can patrol on a scheduled set route or routes and can report on anomalies that are found on its patrol route.

(RAD robotic solutions are well-suited for use in multiple industries such as corporate enterprises, government, transportation, critical infrastructure, education and healthcare. Courtesy of Robotic Assistance Devices and YouTube)

The S5 Robotic Guard is ideal for critical infrastructure and perimeter security to lower risk boost productivity and ensure safety.

It is also essential for remote location monitoring, providing security where otherwise none would be reasonable to implement, including oil and gas production facilities, utility locations and other enterprise sites.

ATI Systems

ATI Systems, offers MassAlert advanced, net-centric software utilizing state-of-the-art technology to provide the most advanced, reliable and secure Mass Notification System (MNS) with a host of notification options.

With its unparalleled user-friendly graphical interface, MassAlert™ enables system operators to instantly alert and inform personnel of what to do before, during and after an emergency or disaster, and also to broadcast daily announcements and signals. 

MassAlert® is customized for each client’s specific system and utilizes field unit icons layered onto location maps and building diagrams of the system to provide system overview and real-time status.

Automatic Systems

Automatic Systems is one of the world leaders of automated physical access control equipment for pedestrian and vehicle entrances.

Secure Control of Pedestrian Access

Designed to allow fast access to authorized individuals, the Automatic Systems pedestrian entry control equipment – secure portals, swinging and retractable obstacle turnstiles, are integrated perfectly within the lobbies of multi-tenant office buildings, at the entrances of financial institutions, registered offices, and even recreation sites.

(See how SmartLane Security Entrance Lanes are ideal for applications requiring secure, bidirectional passage control; where safety and throughput are key. Courtesy of Automatic Systems and YouTube)

Based on industrial experience spanning close to 50 years, Automatic Systems designs and manufactures access control equipment for secure access (building access, boarding control, immigration control, etc.), paid access (public transport systems, highway tolls), secure control of vehicle access & more!

Sharp Electronics Corporation

Special thanks to Sharp Electronics Corporation – a Featured Corporate Sponsor of the ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program, who brought their Sharp INTELLOS Automated Unmanned Ground Vehicle (A-UGV) to showcase, at the ‘ASTORS’ Awards Luncheon at ISC East.

The Sharp INTELLOS™ A-UGV is a multi-terrain, mobile sensor, intelligence-gathering robot that can capture video, audio and environmental data while providing a visible deterrent–proactively and without the aid of a human driver.

(The Sharp INTELLOS™ A-UGV, autonomous robotic system can enhance outdoor surveillance, security, safety and maintenance inspections. By integrating with your other technologies, it augments a skilled guard force to provide comprehensive awareness – and help your organization meet the challenges of today’s ever-changing, highly demanding security landscape. Courtesy of Sharp INTELLOS™ A-UGV and YouTube)

Combining automation, mobility and a variety of monitoring and detection functionalities to extend the reach and impact of a traditional security force, the Sharp INTELLOS A-UGV proactive outdoor patrol capabilities offer a compelling advancement over conventional operations.
