One of the BCB technologies that OIS-AT is responsible for in the Indian market, is a new surveillance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), called the SQ-4 Recon. It is a device which fits in the palm of your hand and can be operated remotely by troops sitting in a control room thousands of miles away. Its small size coupled with its 10 ultrasonic sonars means that it can be used in confined spaces.
"We are pleased that BCB, UK has chosen to enter into an OEM relationship with OIS-AT for the Indian market. The Handheld UAV is an exciting product category with numerous applications in various fields, especially agencies in the Homeland Security sector. We look forward to advancing this and other technologies in India," said Sanjay Bhandari, Chairman and Managing Director OIS Advanced Technology.
"We are delighted about our new ties with OIS-AT and the opportunity it presents to advance our technology franchise across the various sectors in India. OIS-AT's team and technology capabilities are impeccable which helped us firm up our decision about entering into a relationship. We are confident that together we will efficiently service the Indian market including for defence offsets," said Andrew Howell, Managing Director of BCB International Ltd, UK.
The risk of terrorist attacks in coastal waters, ports, inland waterways and offshore projects is a serious threat. To combat this threat, BCB International has developed the Buccaneer Light Weight Interceptor (LWI), a non-lethal air pressurized launcher for vessel entanglement and immobilization. This device has an operating range of over 200 meters and is capable of deploying an entrapment zone ahead of a suspect vessel, disabling its props through entanglement and bring the target to a rapid stop within a matter of seconds.
