Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (CSE: PRT) (OTCQB: PLRTF) (FSE: 4XA) (WKN# A2N8RH) ("Plymouth Rock", "PRT", or the "Company") a leader in the development of cutting-edge threat detection technologies, is pleased to announce that the Company has agreed to collaborate on the strategic market placement of products and services with Qatar based STA QSTP LLC ("STA") focusing on state security utilizing UAVs, sensors, and detectors from Plymouth Rock Technologies. Qatari national security includes border, public events, and natural resource monitoring.
STA provides mission-critical aerial solutions and intelligence with extensive expertise and understanding in drone technology development, analytics, industrial inspections, fire-fighting, as well as search and rescue. Centrally located in the city of Doha, STA brings Qatari leadership that combines 27 years of experience gained at NASA and Silicon Valley. STA has attracted exceptional local talent from leading universities including Carnegie Mellon and Texas A&M.
"Our interest in PRT was based upon their ability to deliver combined intelligent sensors outputs from the air and still maintain class leading, all-weather flight performance characteristics. The combination of PRT detectors on the ground with those in the air further enhances situational and threat awareness," stated Dr. Khalid Al-Ali, CEO and Founder of STA Qatar. "Being a 100% Qatari-owned technology company, focusing on both self-developed solutions as well as collaborations with the best-in-class companies allows us to leverage programs and commercial opportunities put forward in Qatar", concluded Dr. Al-Ali.
Qatar hosts approximately 10,000 U.S. service personnel. In 2022, it will host the FIFA World Cup. It is estimated that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles by Qatar Ministry of Transport & Communications and state security agencies would pass $33m USD in 2021; due to COVID-19, demand could pass $40m USD. With many venues requiring physical security, PRT will be well-positioned to deploy its class-leading land-based and airborne threat detectors. Qatar has more than 350 miles of coastline; its border with Saudi Arabia is some 37 miles long - with most of its Oil and Gas resources located in Northern Qatar, one of the main security missions of UAV technologies will be to reinforce the Qatari Coast Guard in their task to secure and monitor these important resources. Qatar is also home to Hamad International Airport, one of the world's largest passenger and cargo airports, presenting a great opportunity for the use of PRT's technologies.
"The principles and associated alliance partners that form STA, are thought leaders and advocates of unmanned technologies not just in Qatar, but globally", stated Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. "We are proud to collaborate with STA in delivering land-based threat detectors and UAV operational awareness to assist in the mission of advancing the monitoring of Qatar's natural resource assets and national security".
