Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. Receives $787,000 Contract for WhisprWave® Floating Security Barrier
Summit, NJ - Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. (WDT) is pleased to announce it has reached new corporate milestones; receiving its largest US Government Purchase Order to date for its unique patented WhisprWave® marine security barrier and breakwater technology. The contract with the U.S. Coast Guard Integrated Support Command (USCG ISC Alameda) in Alameda, California tasks WDT to install a 2400-foot floating security barrier around the WHEC Cutter pier at ISC Alameda, with provisions for multiple opening gates to allow immediate movement of the Cutters as necessary.
The Contract received by WDT on Friday requires Wave Dispersion Technologies to install the barrier so as to float on the water creating a visible and unmistakable security line of demarcation (LOD) around the Coast Guard Cutters moored at ISC Alameda. The barrier must withstand a 70-mph sustained wind and simultaneous 3-knot current. (WhisprWave®'s distinct design and application allow it to withstand adverse marine conditions and sustained winds of more than 100 MPH.)
The design of the SCIB utilizes environmentally friendly materials chosen for long term reduced maintenance performance and engineered to withstand forces much greater than the expected maximum load. The ability of the WhisprWave® SCIB to be easily upgradeable and retro-fitted with additional security features was a key element in its choice as the ISC Alameda floating security barrier. The ISC Alameda barrier also has to be capable of supporting an interior-mounted oil boom and meet other undisclosed specifications as required by the Coast Guard
The Company has been developing the WhisprWave® Technology for several years and holds 7 Domestic and International Patents for the WhisprWave®'s unique design and utility, with an additional 20 patents pending. The WhisprWave® is specifically designed in a modular format to maximize the product's flexibility and strength for maritime applications.
C.E.O. Dennis Smith stated" We have been developing the WhisprWave® breakwater technology for several years with the confidence and long-term vision that our technology had multiple global maritime applications. We are now seeing industry and government coming to us on a large scale to meet their erosion control, force protection and Homeland Security needs. "
