Security and Blast
Industrial Blast
Blast hazards occur in a variety of industries
Security Blast
Hostile acts can target any facility or structure. Engineering can be the key to mitigated the threat.
Ballistics
Ballistics is more than just weapons. Missile damage can come from many sources.
Barriers
Barriers are key to establishing standoff as well as keeping people from hazards.
Kemper Engineering Service’s strong support of hiring veterans gives us an advantage in addressing security, anti-terrorism, and blast issues. Force Protection is more than expeditionary security. Anticipating, quantifying, and mitigating hazards applies to industrial and civil settings as well. Hands-on experience coupled with in-depth technical expertise allows us to provide exceptional service to our clients. Ranging from assisting in product development and test validation to troubleshooting systems to mitigating threats to forensic work, our expertise has been proven time and again. Our principal engineer, Bart Kemper, is on the Committee E54 on Homeland Security Applications, to include Subcommittee E54.05 on Physical and Electronic Security where his decades of work in vehicle barriers and anti-terrorism (force protection) engineering as a consulting engineer and an Army engineer officer are put towards developing or updating key standards.
KES is involved with national-level engineering policy issues involving software supply chain security and potential risks posed by Artificial Intelligence. Much of our recent work in this field has been focused on our advisory role in our outreach program, but we stand ready to assist our clients in navigating cyber threats as well as the physical ones.
