Security Products Summary


Products designed for Bastion Security follow the same general principles as the services Bastion provides. Above all, they increase the effectiveness of the Security Teams present. The design philosophy of our products is to complement, not replace, the security personnel required to provide effective protection of your assets with an efficient utilization of client and security resources.

All security products are designed and available in a kit format which is comprised of any number of modules. The modules are designed to perform a specific function within that kit and contain a sufficient number of suitable components required for these functions. The kits contain those basic, or standard, modules which will be required, and used, in the most probable situations you can expect to encounter on a regular basis. Supplemental modules are available for those possible situations which may occur infrequently. Individual components are also available as replacement pieces, or as supplements, to increase the flexibility and versatility of the modules and kits. This is a very resource (purchasing, storage and transportation) efficient method of equipping personnel and organizations which are operating in high-risk areas or remote sites globally.


Design Philosophy

Our primary concern is results. Products are designed, assembled or manufactured to function properly in hazardous environments such as conflict zones. Failure of products or services within these types of environments often has results detrimental to the health of the operator or organization which exists in these environments. They must not only perform their intended tasks, but they must also do so with security concerns in mind. This requires a sometimes foreign mind-set from conventional product design and requires unique and innovative solutions which must be thoroughly thought out in advance from a security view-point.


Attributes

These products are designed to demanding specifications to ensure they will function properly in the harshest environments, such as conflict zones. In keeping with the design philosophy, all kits are created with the user in mind, whether they be a security professional, or any individual / organization operating in high-risk situations and remote sites anywhere in the world. Each product is designed with the following attributes in mind;

    • Portable;

    • Temporary;

    • Low profile;

    • Versatility;

    • Compatible with Industry Standards;

    • Modular and scalable, and

    • Self Sufficiency.


Suitability

The products offered here were originally designed for Bastion Security Operations and have been extensively field tested during operations. These kits are used in training and field operations and are ideal for not only security professionals, but any individual or organization which operates in High-Risk situations and/or Remote locations around the world with few exceptions. All products are available to the end-user, or may be purchased through local security dealers (distributors and retailers). All direct sales enquiries should be directed to us by any contact method shown at the bottom of this page.


Armour Kits

Bastion Security armour kits are designed and manufactured to provide protection against ballistic threats. These threats are usually caused by explosives (shrapnel), or high-velocity projectiles (bullets). The portable and temporary nature of these kits makes them ideal for organizations which do not require ballistic protection of their assets permanently (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), or rent/lease equipment, vehicles, and structures (fixed or portable) and thus are not able to apply permanent armour to these asset types, but still need their contents protected from ballistic threats. The portable nature allows the armour to be stored and transported by personnel, or vehicle, with ease and minimal delay. The following kits are available;

    • Personal Armour Kits (PAK);

    • Vehicle Armour Kits (VAK);

    • Portable Object Transport Armour Kits (POTAK);

    • Structural Armour Kits (SAK), and

    • Multiple-Use Modular Armour Kits (MUMAK).


Communications Kits

Bastion Security communications kits are designed and assembled to provide reliable and effective communications within and between all levels of those organizations operating in high-risk areas or remote sites. These kits are ideally suited for organizations operating in high-risk or remote sites on a temporary basis and do not wish to deploy a fixed communications system and all the associated support infrastructure or where local supply or the necessary infrastructure and support structure does not exist, or is not reliable. The following communications kits are available;

    • Short range: Inter-Team Communication Kits (TCK);

    • Medium range: Inter-Task Force Communication Kits (TFCK), and

    • Long-range: Inter-Operation Communication Kits (OCK).


Direct Support Kits

Identifying real or potential threats and providing advanced warning of these threats to the asset protection teams is essential to providing effective protection in high-risk situations and remote sites. As the size and scale of the security operation increases, the manpower requirements to effectively observe all sectors within the site and surrounding area increases dramatically. Bastion directsupport kits are designed to assist the protection elements of the security teams and are ideally suited for organizations with a temporary presence in a location, or are operating in areas where it is not suitable to install fixed systems, or quality components are not available in sufficient quantity in the task area. The following support kits are available;

    • Surveillance Direct Support Kits (SDSK), and

    • Alarm Direct Support Kits (ADSK).


Note: Technology is a tool, not the answer.

Technology is only as good as the people that designed, made and operate it. Technology, such as alarms, cameras, etc. can not form the basis of an effective security plan. It often does however, with the notable result that these plans are usually not effective. Effective security involves people, which if well trained, well paid and experienced, do not come cheap. Nor are they plentiful, but they are essential to providing effective protection in high-risk situations.

Cameras and alarms can not think. They can not predict the behaviour of a Threat based on known, or suspected, patterns and trends and formulate a plan which will counter, or allow the Target to avoid, that Threat. They also can not analyze a situation and offer alternatives should the initial plan fail. Cameras are tools which extend the visual range of the security teams and alarms provide warning of an activity within the range of the sensor. They should be used as such and not relied upon to provide the illusion of security.

Customers with specific or custom requirements, (whether they be permanent, temporary, fixed or portable), should contact us to discuss your needs.
