were an estimated 3 million miles of unprotected oil and gas pipelines
worldwide, out of which 2 million miles were in the USA alone. Although
the need has been strongly recognized by the Oil & Gas industry for
years, and in spite of increasing threats since the 9/11 events and current
instability in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle-East, there is no effective
solution for securing buried pipes against damage caused by terror, sabotage,
theft or other third party threats. PipeGuard utilizes an innovative and unique technology to guard buried pipelines, regardless of pipeline length, with the ability to detect potential attack and alert authorities before potential harm or damage occurs. Its target market includes Oil & Gas companies, owners and operators of pipelines or communication cables and governmental agencies dealing with security and environment. PipeGuard is suitable for all pipes or cables, from existing and operational pipelines, to new pipelines under construction. The system can easily be integrated into a full turnkey security solution, including perimeter protection, ground or air patrol and others. By answering the challenge of securing pipelines, Magal offers a total security solution for the Oil and Gas industry – from the oil field to the refineries. Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal concluded: “Magal regards the PipeGuard as a new frontier in security solutions, which are based upon the same core technology. The new product will widen the spectrum of security solutions we offer, and broaden the potential security markets of Magal.” Magal will host a conference call, following the release of its 2003 year-end and fourth quarter results, on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 11.00 EDT. To participate please dial +1 877 332 1104 from the US, 5 minutes before the start of the call. FORTIS Integrated Command and Control System: FORTIS is a fully Integrated Command & Control System, which supports real-time decision making and wide-area command and control. FORTIS reduces the period of time from intruder detection to intruder engagement, to a minimum. FORTIS was developed to improve the response to real-time security events, by sharing video and geographical information between the control center and security personnel acting in the field. The system creates a unified and interactive intelligence picture - drawing data from all sensors, whilst displaying the movement of security personnel in the field and adding other relevant information, such as video from various sources, auxiliary services and weather conditions. This combined picture, which is continuously updated, is sent by the Central Command to all security personnel in the command chain, and serves as a unified basis for operational planning and allocation of tasks. Using advanced technology, FORTIS gives the security officer a unique graphical command tool, which updates the location details and video view of the alerting area, whilst simultaneously enabling a constant watch over security personnel movements, thus optimizing the operational response. FORTIS is based on a number of advanced technologies that are currently being used in military applications. However, the system's competitive price, positions FORTIS as an optimal security system for all strategic facilities, both in the public and private sectors. Its target markets include governmental, institutional and large sensitive facilities, such as borders, airports, hospitals, power plants and water sources, as well as large manufacturing facilities requiring real-time control and protection.
