Security Splash
By Marc Geriene (September 17,
2002)
Kirkland, WA: Nova Ray Submersible Systems (Nova
Ray) is answering the call for "America's best ideas today
to protect our citizens tomorrow." The Seattle area firm
is showcasing its product's homeland security applications
at the first-ever Homeland Security Technology Expo and
Conference in Washington, DC, Sept. 18-19, 2002.
Nova Ray is the licensed manufacturer of the innovatively
shaped and patent designed, Nova Ray®, a
submersible remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The ROV responds
to such security needs as:
- Increased Security for ships, ports, marinas, etc.
- Increased Emphasis on emergency response
- Increased Awareness of threats from "NBC" terrorism (Nuclear,
Biological & Chemical)
- Ships' Hull Surveys
"We are excited about launching the Nova Ray®
at such an important event, and introducing our product
for the protection of our waterways," said Marc Geriene,
Managing Director Nova Ray.
The conference, hosted by the U.S. Department of Commerce,
in association with the Office of Homeland Security provides
opportunities for federal procurement officers, law enforcement
officials, Congressional staff and others to learn more
about the products currently being developed to strengthen
national defense.
"What makes the Nova Ray® stand out in the
submersible ROV industry," Marc Geriene said, "is its quick
response time, ease of use, and most importantly; the ability
to tow or operate in strong currents. Our technology and
intellectual property will revolutionize the ROV industry."
He explained that seven years of research and development
and two decades of experience are behind the Nova Ray®
design and applications. A worldwide market is created from
its portability, usability, economics and universal design.
"We have solved some very limiting factors for ROVs. As
a result, we have expanded its applications that include
such areas as security," Geriene said. Other applications
include pipeline inspections, cable inspections, dam and
reservoir inspections and water rescue operations.
