Gabriel Technologies to Streamline Container Locks Used by the U.S. Navy
One-Size-Fits-All Barrier Lock System Pilot Testing for Potential DoD-Wide Implementation
Omaha, NE, February 28, 2006 - Gabriel Technologies Corp. (OTCBB:GWLK - News), a homeland security company providing physical locking systems, wireless biometric security products and GPS tracking services, announced today that full deployment of its custom proprietary locking system with the U.S. Navy will begin on April 1, 2006.
The Department of the Navy has placed an order with Gabriel Technologies for a custom-built locking system. The specially designed locking system secures various types of shipping containers with a single locking design and reduces the potential of security errors when using multiple non-proprietary locks, keys and cables.
Keith Feilmeier, CEO of Gabriel Technologies, said, "Part of the specification for this custom lock was that it would be very difficult to tamper with. The barrier box will be highly resistant to intrusion devices so that a bolt cutter cannot violate the integrity of the lock or the contents within the container.
"Since many of the loads shipped worldwide by the Departments of Defense (DoD) are made up of high-value, explosive materials and other finished goods, it is logical to keep the security process as simple as possible. The Navy's decision to switch to a single custom proprietary lock for all container types will reduce the margin of error associated in the proper securing of cargo and make security inspections easier.
"We are honored to have this opportunity to demonstrate our WAR-LOK(TM) technology for the Navy," Feilmeier said. "We believe that the Navy's implementation of our WAR-LOK technology will open the door to other opportunities and departments within the DoD."
Feilmeier continued, "When deployed at foreign ports of origin, this new lock provides advanced security for incoming containers with contents that may not be known or if the container was not completely secured prior to shipment. This lock enables a unified system, where all container types are locked and secured alike with a proprietary key system. All shippers, carriers, port personnel, rail carriers, trucking companies and anyone handling containers now have enhanced security with a simple yet highly secure locking process."
