Latest counter terrorism tech exhibited in London

LONDON (AA) - A London event hosted counterterrorism experts and companies from across the world with their latest products on Wednesday.

The CTX Counter Terror Expo and Forensics Europe Expo were launched together in London’s ExCel center.

Robotic arms used by bomb disposal units, as well as sensitive cameras that can measure distances from a reference point to stop potential terrorists are part of the exhibit.

The companies attending the event are also exhibiting solutions of survey tactics, and consultancy.

A demonstration from British Transport Police’s Specialist Response Unit (SRU) shows how they assess and interrogate an unattended item and how they confront a subject armed with a knife.

The event that also hosts a mini conference on counter terrorism will continue until Thursday evening.
