METRO SENTRY ONE | Building Protection Systems, Inc. (BPSI)

General Description
The Metro Sentry One (MSO) is a mechanical system installed to monitor areas of terrorist concerns such as an underground Metro Transit Authority station environment. The MSO monitors both directly and remotely, airborne toxins in the fresh air supply, points of ingress and egress and the ambient platform environment. If a toxin is detected, the MSO enacts a sequence of predetermined alerts and mechanical protocols to isolate toxins thus preventing continued distribution to prevent loss of life, preserve assets, and to provide an early warning system for first responders in the event of a targeted terrorist attack using chemical, radiological or biological materials or an accidental release. The MSO is installed as an all-in-one full backbone system and can integrate directly into an existing security command platform or into BPSI’s extensive fusion platform. The MSO detects a defined spectrum of chemical contaminants, a wide library of radiological isotopes and select biological agents with sensitivity levels customized for each specific toxin. The MSO has been designed in modular fashion to support continued advances in chemical, radiological and biological sensory technology, with a “Plug and Play” overlay into the Sentry One network. No known similar systems exist. The Metro Sentry One is a fully functioning “Next Generation” detection backbone system that integrates sensory technology into a market ready transit retrofit project. With embedded controls, logic, software, mechanical protocols and remote monitoring coupled with multiple security means, this system is designed to operate 24/7/365 in the absence of false positive readings.

Technical Description
BPSI’s Metro Sentry One (MSO) is a COTS based system that detects a defined spectrum of toxic compounds, a 120+ library of radiological isotopes and select biological agents in a transit environment on a continuous 24/7/365 basis with virtually zero false positive alarms. Through the integration of programmable logic controllers and sensor arrays, linked to a PC infrastructure with multi-layer communications protocols, the Metro Sentry One solution offers a dynamic set of customized security measures. The MSO’s backbone architecture mesh simply and easily with existing systems, in a seamless process that gives the end user virtually unlimited options for protection.
