 Gatekeeper specializes in automated under vehicle inspection technologies. Our technologies are based on the principal of taking the guard out of the physical inspection [human sensor] loop and into the decision-making arena; automating the undercarriage inspection process by using artificial intelligence maximizes both throughput and security. Gatekeeper's artificial intelligence based under vehicle inspection systems rely on intelligence based algorithms. These algorithms can recall vehicles, identify vehicle makes and models and indicate changes or variances to vehicles undercarriages based on the vehicle undercarriage alone.
 In addition the Gatekeeper systems can authenticate vehicles against their external identifier (license plate, RFID etc) to ensure only authorized vehicles enter secure areas while at the same time monitor and compare historic physical conditions of vehicles and behavioral patterns to current.
 As the name suggests the Gatekeeper range of under vehicle inspection products are designed to ensure vehicles entering a facility are authorized vehicles that have not been altered, that do not have foreign objects attached that may cause harm and are not transporting undeclared items or people. Put more simply the Gatekeeper systems provide a first line of defense against foreign and domestic threats to our country and its citizens' security. Gatekeeper's products consist of various stand-alone or networked under vehicle inspection systems that can be integrated with other access control or general security systems to provide a comprehensive security structure.
 Gatekeeper believes that security should not unnecessarily impinge either the flow of commerce or the quality of life. Rather, both should be enhanced through the use of non-intrusive, artificial intelligence based physical security systems. Gatekeeper's technology offers an ability to screen vehicles, to ensure the rapid clearance of authorized, conforming entrants.
 Gatekeeper designed and deployed automated under vehicle inspection systems (AUVIS) for use by the US forces in Iraq. The development of the AUVIS for Iraq was made after consultation with US forces on the ground and was designed to cater specifically for the problems being encountered. These include recognizing the environment for equipment and personnel in Iraq is at best challenging.
 The environmental conditions gave rise to the requirement for specialized equipment capable of withstanding searing heat, dust with the consistency of baby powder, poorly maintained roads and vehicles. One issue that added to the frustration of dealing with vehicles (the terrorist's weapon of choice)in Iraq is, that in the main, they do not carry number plates or other forms of unique identifies. Further, the equipment must be able to be operated from a safe stand-off distance while enabling them to continue to monitor activity where the scanner is being deployed. Coupled with these factors it was an absolute requirement that the AUVIS provide operators with; the best possible images of vehicles being scanned; an ability to check forward and back view images at the same time to ensure foreign objects are not hidden in pockets; an ability to automatically search within a database for the same or similar vehicles without a vehicle identifier (number plate etc), automatically highlighting any differences between them; an ability to remotely monitor the operations; an ability to network the AUVIS's between check points; an ability to record all vehicles entering an entry control point (ECP) providing, date, time front and under carriage images; a remote monitoring touch screen capable of digital zoom with automatic synchronization with archived image; an ability to integrate with other ECP technology for example weigh in motion scales, barriers, claws, personal identification systems, traffic lights etc; an ability to display on the operators GUI a front image of the vehicle being scanned, the archived image of the vehicle or similar, present image, vehicle history etc.
Gatekeeper achieved the required goals and delivered systems to the US military in record time to enable deployment and the safe searching of vehicles in the continued fight against VBIEDs.
Recent enhancements by the military that are now available with all Gatekeeper systems include:
- Fiber optic and wireless connections between scanning platform and monitor allowing up to 1000's of feet of stand-off.
- Picture within a picture live video coverage of entry point activity.
- Environmentally sealed 5 chamber scanner
- Increase red LED lighting
- Patent pending ambient light filtering system
- Increased extreme temperature range of equipment.
- Watch list capabilities to ensure vehicles of certain makes and models are automatically identified along with specific vehicles that are on other watch lists.
- License plate reading system that operates in the U.S., Middle East (Arabic), Europe, UK and Asia.
