Global intelligent remote detection system

A security system for monitoring a plurality of assets comprising:

• a plurality of agents, each one of said plurality of agents connected with an asset, each one of said plurality of agents comprising:
• a sensor for monitoring a physical condition of the corresponding one of said plurality of assets;
• a processor for collecting and processing the physical condition data to produce an asset security data;
• and
• a communication device for transmitting and receiving data;
• a master control unit for receiving the plurality of asset security data from the plurality of agents;
• and
• a global operations center in communication with the master control unit for receiving the plurality of asset security data retransmitted from the master control unit and analyzing the plurality of asset security data to detect a security threat.

A security system for monitoring a security status of an asset, said security system comprising:

• a radiation detector for producing nuclear radiation data indicative of nuclear radiation in said asset;
• a global operations center for collecting information regarding radiation in a plurality of said assets;
• and
• a transmitter system for transmitting said nuclear radiation data from said asset to said global operations center.

A security system for monitoring a security status of a plurality of assets, said security system comprising:

• a plurality of agents, each of said agents connected to one of said assets;
• each agent comprising:
• a sensing device for monitoring a security of the asset for providing a secured data;
• a wireless transmitter system for transmitting said security data from said agent;
• a wireless receiver for receiving said security data from other of said agents;
• and
• an electronic memory for storing said security data from said agent and from other of said agents;
• whereby said agents together provide an Intranet redundantly storing said security data from all of said agents.

A method for monitoring a security of an asset, the method comprising:

• activating an agent connected with said asset;
• said agent, monitoring a security status of the asset;
• said agent, transmitting the security status from the agent to a master control unit;
• retransmitting the security status from the master control unit to a global operations center;
• and
• processing the security status at the global operations center to detect a security threat.

A method of providing a cargo manifest for a mobile asset to a customs office, said method comprising:

• inventorying cargo loaded into said mobile asset and creating a manifest therefrom;
• uploading said manifest to one of:
• an agent connected to said mobile asset and a global operations center;
• and
• transmitting said uploaded cargo manifest to an electronic device at said customs office.

A method for monitoring a security status of an asset, said method comprising:

• detecting nuclear radiation data indicative of nuclear radiation in said asset;
• transmitting said nuclear radiation data from said container to a global operations center;
• and
• providing at said global operations center an output signal characteristic of said nuclear radiation data.

A method for tracking a security status of a plurality of assets, said method comprising:

• providing a plurality of agents, each one of said plurality of agents connected to one of said plurality of assets;
• each of said plurality of agents monitoring a security of its connected asset and providing a security data associated with said connected asset;
• and
• creating a wireless network between a plurality of agents for sharing said security data.
