– The Nigerian Airforce (NAF) has made a
critical move to reinforce its base defence
and protection of its assets
– The move is part of efforts towards coping
with the dynamism of emerging security
threats
– NAF is adopting a new concept of base
defence to protect its air assets and critical
installations
The Nigerian Airforce has adopted a modern
and effective way to reinforce its base
defence and assets protection.
Aside reorganizing, retraining and re-
equipping the regiment specialty to
effectively defend NAF Bases against
attacks, the Airforce has also employed the
use of Closed Circuit Camera to provide
surveillance around perimeter fences of NAF
Bases while monitoring the entire Base from
the Base Defence Coordination Centre.
Effort is geared towards expanding the
regiment specialty to be able to take over all
ground defence duties with a view to
securing NAF Bases and critical assets.
The recent acquisition of 10 specialised
Honker Scorpion Vehicles is geared towards
responding quickly to security breaches. The evehicles possess armoured capability thus
offering additional level of protection to
guards.
