USCENTCOM Deploys Gatekeeper Security Systems in the Green Zone in Iraq.

Gatekeeper Security has recently deployed their patented, under vehicle inspection systems at the entrance to and inside the green zone in Baghdad, Iraq. The addition of Gatekeeper is part of an overall increased security effort by USCENTCOM in Iraq.

The United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) is one of the five geographically defined unified commands within the Department of Defense. Today it is responsible for planning and conducting United States (U.S.) military activity in a region consisting of 27 countries in Northeast Africa, Southwest and Central Asia, and the island nation of the Seychelles.

As its name implies, USCENTCOM covers the "central" area of the globe located between the European and Pacific Commands. Today's command evolved as a practical solution to the problem of projecting U.S. military power to the Gulf region from halfway around the world. In the recent past, USCENTCOM has become known for its success in leading a coalition to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation and for humanitarian operations in Somalia and Kenya, among other activities. Current developments in the command.s strategy have validated its mission and articulated its vision as a versatile and flexible command able to deal with evolving threats and continuing challenges in its assigned part of the world.

Gatekeeper is in the vehicle identification and bomb detection business. Gatekeeper is actively involved in combating global terror through its development and deployment of systems that deny terrorists the ability to use their weapon of choice, the vehicle borne IED (VBIED). Gatekeeper's technology is designed to automatically detect vehicle bombs and/or changes to a vehicle's undercarriage along with the authentication of each vehicle's identity.
