Unifire Anti Pirate Water Cannon System at IMDEX Asia 2009

Unifire AB Anti-Pirate Water Cannon System exhibited at IMDEX Asia 2009. Unifire has created a fully automatic, non-lethal weapon for protecting ships from pirates.

These cannons can be remotely controlled from a safe location (or locations) on the ship, such as the bridge, using video cameras and can be combined with foams, dyes and other chemical additives. They can also deploy pre-recorded spray patterns for automatic ship protection.

Unifire's system can also work with other peripherals such as lights, cameras, valves, additives, etc. It can be complimented by other technologies, such as the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) by American Technology Corporation, slippery foam additives, etc.

Because the cannons tap into a ship's existing pumps and fire fighting water supply already aboard, the system is very economical to install, and requires very little maintenance. It can be installed, maintained and serviced at sea.

Oh you know you could just pay Black water to defend the ships.

Pirates are often normal poor people used to generate wealth to war lords and drug lords in east Africa. The people who are carrying guns don't even own them, they are aloud to borrow them when hijacking ships.

Because the waters around West Africa is the biggest gap between rich and poor, this happens. If Africans would be as rich as the western world, they would not hijack ships, who is interfering with that development if not US FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.

Criminality for survival.

Blow up the freakin pirates they say they do that crap for money to buy food and clothing and shelter for their families yet they somehow have enough money for the guns they use...

All those are are three inch pipes bent and and topped with a narrow tip big deal.

No way! Water cannons were origionaly used for fighting fires! Only the least astute of dullards would say that these cannons weren't origionaly manufactured to spray pirates with water.
