LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 4, 2007 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced that its
Vindicator Security Solutions has received PL-1 certification, the highest
security certification from the United States Air Force. The certification
recognizes the Vindicator® Command & Control (VCC) platform, V5 Intrusion
Detection System (IDS) and V5 Access Control System (ACS) as an approved
command, control and display solution for intrusion detection and entry control
systems.
The PL-1 certification required Vindicator to undergo rigorous testing for
its VCC, V5 IDS and V5 ACS at the Certified Air Force Test Site C-3, located at
Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The designation certifies that the latest
Vindicator products and solutions protect PL 1-4 resources without requiring
base or command authorities to apply for a waiver against regulations.
“National security is a higher priority today than ever before,” said David
Peirce, regional general manager for Honeywell Vindicator Security Solutions.
“Facilities critical to the nation’s security must take every safeguard possible
to ensure that their people and assets are protected. A fully integrated system
like ours gives security personnel a complete picture of site operations from
single or multiple locations anytime. Our fully redundant systems have been
certified for protection of PL-1 assets for many years. And now with the
addition of our latest platforms to the approved list, we’re giving the Air
Force and other high-security customers the support they need and expect.
They’re able to move forward and take advantage of a powerful security solution
– Vindicator.”
The Vindicator network allows operators to receive security event information
from perimeter intrusion, video detection, access control and fire systems at a
single console. This information can be transmitted either on an existing or
separate facility network over any media: wire, RF, modem, fiber, etc., both
encrypted and redundantly. This critical level of security is often required by
government and military installations as well as industrial chemical facilities
and many correctional institutions.
