Winkelmann: CEN-SAD protection in Benin

Winkelmann: CEN-SAD protection in Benin. The Community of Sahelo-Saharan States summit, CEN-SAD, was held in Cotonou in the Republic of Benin, attended by the 28 Heads of State and governments that make up the organisation.

With so many VIPs there, safety and security were of the highest importance for the Benin Government.

Winkelmann UK, a specialist manufacturer of counter-surveillance and anti-terrorist equipment, supplied a number of Hawk XDi Electronic Device Detectors for use by the security forces.

They use advanced technology and embedded intelligence to detect mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) such as remote control receivers, mobile phones, electronic timers, clocks, transceivers, electronic fuses and delayed-action units, whether switched on or off.

The three-day event was concluded without any security alert.
