The Army has taken delivery of a security intrusion detection system (SIDE) which was tendered out back in 2021. The tender for the system was published on September 9 2021, and closed ten days later. The Letter of Award of RM9.56 million was awarded to Harapan Erat Sdn Bhd, a company based in Kota Damansara, Selangor.
According to the companies which offer such capabilities, a SIDE is a wide range of technologies designed to give early warning of an intruder coming into a secure area. It is the equivalent of a radar system to monitor airspace or marine areas. In urban areas, CCTVs are mostly used for this purpose though more sophisticated systems add various other enhancements from video uploads to audio alerting systems.
The Army via the Fourth Division highlighted a demonstration of the system which was attended by the deputy chief Lt Jen Tengku Fauzi Tengku Ibrahim on April 14.
