| Unisys to provide security assurance for world’s largest experimental fusion facility Unisys Corporation announced it had signed a four-year framework agreement with the ITER project to provide end-to-end physical security and safety assurance at its facility, which is currently under construction in Cadarache, France. Unisys' French subsidiary will lead a consortium, with Arcadis, to design and support an integrated solution spanning perimeter and surveillance security, identity and access management and command and control systems. Due for completion in 2019, ITER will be the world's largest experimental fusion facility and represents a unique global collaboration between China, the EU, the United States, India, Japan, Korea and Russia. The project is designed to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion power. Tight international regulations on research involving tritium and French Government directives require that the highest levels of physical security are maintained on site at all times. Under this new framework agreement, the Unisys-Arcadis consortium will design, procure, integrate and support the security systems needed to protect the facility from unauthorised access. This four-year framework agreement includes the option to be extended up to 10 years and covers access control, circulation control and monitoring, identity access management, communication security, security and forensics, central monitoring and human factor integration. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
