Hexagon acquires Tacticaware for 3D security surveillance capabilities

Hexagon AB has acquired Tacticaware, which provides lidar-based 3D surveillance software to monitor and protect critical infrastructure and buildings.

Tacticaware’s flagship solution, Accur8vision, is a volumetric detection security system offering 3D surveillance. Unlike conventional systems that typically only monitor perimeters, Accur8vision delivers situational awareness of an intruder’s exact location, size, speed and movement trajectory — all of which can be visualized within a 3D digital reality of the area under surveillance, Tacticaware said.

“Hexagon has long been a leader in sensor and 3D visualization technology,” said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén. “Our award-winning 3D surveillance solution, Leica BLK247, fuses lidar, video and thermal imaging with edge computing and intelligent algorithms to instantly detect and report physical changes within an environment. Together with the BLK247 and HxGN OnCall, our comprehensive portfolio of next-generation public safety solutions, Hexagon can now offer those working to make our world a safer place a fully integrated end-to-end security surveillance solution for 24-hour, full visibility of critical infrastructure and spaces to call-taking, dispatch, incident planning and response and more.”
