“The Navy installed this barrier system in order to provide an adequate level of force protection while maintaining a high level of efficiency on the piers. In other words, we’ve been able to increase our force protection posture without impacting the mission of fleet support,” said Andrew Iuvale, anti-terrorism director, Navy Region Hawaii. “Before the Delta Scientific (Valencia, Calif.) SC3000 gates were installed, as one approached the pier they came upon a swing gate guarded by a sentry. It was the sentry’s responsibility exclusively to assess and then grant or deny access. For a bad guy to access the piers, they only had to overcome the sentry.”
“However, even if someone could take out a sentry in the gatehouse, they still cannot get through the gates,” Iuvale explained.
