00:04The security bubble that we've enjoyed for so long is no longer there, security is now a much
00:10more important thing for all levels of government and industry to start to consider because you
00:16can't put a value on safety. That's the focus here at Millipol Qatar in Doha where I'm taking a look
00:26at the technology designed to help and seeing how it works. Whether it's a cyber attack, a break-in
00:32or a major fire, keeping people safe means preparing for different threats. This year's edition we have
00:39around 280 different companies, 70 percent of them coming from all over the globe, only 30 percent
00:47are local. What we are offering through the exhibition is solutions for whatever challenges
00:52that different governments and different countries are facing and those solutions obviously have been
00:59tested in different countries. Among the exhibits is a drone fitted with traffic lights intended for use
01:08when signals at a junction fail. We are calling it flying traffic signal. What we did we have compacted
01:15the traffic signal controller in a small box and we have included the traffic signal head around it
01:22and hang it to a drone. So this drone is responsible for mandating the traffic during the major failure
01:29of the traffic signal rather than sending traffic police to the middle of the intersection and doing
01:36that temporary traffic mandating we are doing it over this drone having everybody life safe until the
01:43traffic signal restore to its functionality.
01:51This van has been fitted out as a mobile command center. It can be configured for drone operations
01:59or crowd monitoring.
02:03What we do is that we bring actually all the technologies into a certain van. You can use it for
02:09different purposes and 100 percent customizable as per the need of each entity. So either for drone
02:16launching, for using for the crowd management, on like what you want exactly.
02:27Now I want to find out how this equipment is used in real emergency. I'm with Alexandros Nakatamites
02:33from West Bay Petroleum. Alex, can you take me through your time you've used this and how it helps?
02:37Absolutely. So what we have in front of us here is a fixed wing VTOL drone, vertical takeoff and landing.
02:43And one of the biggest applications for emergencies that this is used for is in search and rescue. So we
02:50use it to find people in very, very big areas and then try to rescue them from those locations.
02:57With drones right now, I mean, you can put, for example, on something like this, you can
03:00put a fire hose and use it for fire situations. You've got industrial security or you have, for
03:06example, a gas leak. You can launch a drone that has a gas system on it and can enter without
03:12having
03:12to put a human life at risk. Once the drone comes back, we are able to run those individual photos
03:18through algorithms and then essentially try to find what looks like a person.
03:25On the water, one project involves adapting a boat to operate without anyone on board with
03:32missions set from a control center. We are able to lay out missions to the boat and it is able
03:39to
03:39execute those missions autonomously to detect objects, go survey areas where it needs to survey,
03:45execute its mission and also return back while maintaining the communication back and forth with
03:51the command centers. When you adopt artificial intelligence, there are numerous security layers
03:57that you have to pass it through and vet the performance of such system. You have to
04:02be careful and diligent when you employ that.
04:07This remotely operated robot is fitted with cameras and sensors for detecting gas and radiation.
04:13We have AI on the robot, but also human intelligence is important. So the human can control everything
04:22on the robot, the arm, the movement, the point of gravity, everything can be controlled through this
04:28control. So our main goal is just to, if anyone has to be harmed, it has to be a machine
04:36and not a human
04:37person that should be always safe. Here at MiniPol, we've seen technology designed to protect our data,
04:46our buildings and our lives. The goal is simple, spot danger early, respond quickly and keep more people out of
04:54harm's way.
