Lockheed to provide new york subway security { August 23 2005 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://news.ft.com/cms/s/95ff1c56-1426-11da-af53-00000e2511c8.html http://news.ft.com/cms/s/95ff1c56-1426-11da-af53-00000e2511c8.html Lockheed hired to provide NY subway security system By Christopher Grimes in New York Published: August 23 2005 23:38 | Last updated: August 23 2005 23:38 New York City's transportation authority has hired Lockheed Martin, the US defence contractor, to build a security network for its subway system, a move meant to protect the largest US public transport network against a terror attack. The announcement of the $212m contract comes three years after New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority was awarded $591m in federal funds to upgrade its security system. Since then, terrorists have killed commuters in Madrid and London, but the MTA has spent only a fraction of the security funds, mostly on information campaigns. But the MTA and the New York Police Department have taken more visible steps to protect the subway system since the July 7 bombings in London. Random bag searches were introduced and the NYPD increased the number of police in the subway. Installation of more than 1,000 cameras and 3,000 motion detectors will begin immediately. The surveillance system will be connected to computers, creating “intelligent video” capabilities. Software will trigger an alert when packages are left on a platform. The MTA said it would eventually install devices to detect biological or other weapons, once the technology is proven and tested. Michael Bloomberg, New York's mayor, had been critical of the pace at which the MTA a state authority was developing its security plan. He called yesterday's announcement an “important step” and said the surveillance cameras would act as an “important deterrent” to terrorists. The delay in developing the plan was due in part to a shake-up within the MTA, which fired its security director in 2003. Another strategy, developed with the US army, fell apart over issues of control. “There was definitely some time lost,” said Neysa Pranger, campaign co-ordinator for the Straphanger's Campaign, a subway riders' advocacy group. “But it seems like they're moving toward getting the [federal] money spent.” Katherine Lapp, the MTA's executive director, said Lockheed's technology was “cutting edge” and “doesn't exist anywhere else in the world”.
