Remote Monitored Systems PLC's (LON:RMS) Cloudveil subsidiary has successfully completed testing of its unique mobile protective surveillance programme (MPSP) with a new client.
The unnamed new client is a manufacturer and distributor of fast-moving consumer goods. The pilot scheme involved transporting a high-value cargo that was at serious risk from identified malicious threats across a continent at short notice.
Feedback from the customer was extremely encouraging and Cloudveil is now pushing for further commercial adoption, Remote Monitored Systems said.
Cloudveil's MPSP is designed to support and prevent any compromise to the integrity of high-value goods in transit.
High-value cargo and cross border transport networks are vulnerable to wide-ranging types of compromise and require a comprehensive protection programme.
"Our starting point with MPSP was to develop a purely technology-based system but through exhaustive scenario testing, it became clear that a combination of highly trained and highly skilled personnel deployed with suitably designed and developed equipment was the optimal way to ensure the integrity of our clients high-value goods in transit,” explained Jonathan Thomas, Cloudveil's operations director.
Cloudveil said many of its surveillance operatives are former members of UK Special Forces who are well-versed in responding to developing threats; Cloudveil has its own training programme that focuses on ensuring the operatives are capable of adapting rapidly to fluid situations.
Trevor Brown, the executive director of Remote Monitored Systems (RMS) said the board of RMS continues to be pleased with the trajectory of its Cloudveil, its most recent investment.
“Whilst it is yet to make a material contribution to RMS's overall performance, all the early signs are positive. We will continue to support and encourage the Cloudveil team, whilst we also focus on developing our exciting Gyrometric interest where we anticipate an inflexion point in 2020," Brown said.
