CHALLENGE OF BORDER PROTECTION

Nowadays many countries face serious global security situations while each of them pay attention to improve their border’s protection. Controlling who is allowed to enter the country, to cross the border or to pass a critical area is a must. Usually there is not enough manpower to patrol all these areas, only to provide reaction forces. Early detection of potential threats and illegal activities is crucial and provide the basis for focused countermeasures.

SOLUTION

Pro Patria Electronics is your partner providing sophisticated and affordable solution, which helps to control these sensitive areas. Our company offers ideal solutions to armed forces and homeland security units who are confronting the new border protection challenges. The continuous surveillance can be achieved with a network of integrated sensors. This system can be controlled either locally or from a remote command center that provides an integrated situational picture for higher level Command Centers (C2).

Pro Patria Electronics developed a system so that its flexible elements can adapt to the changing situations. The company can integrate existing border surveillance equipment into its sensor and integration management software (ADAMSTM) that has multi-layer functionality viable alternative for quick deployment. It is able to connect to existing C2 systems, and provide good growth potential including new sensors. Pro Patria Electronics supports and maintains the sensor integration system for long term in order to support the protection of sensitive border areas.

COSTEFFECTIVENESS

Covering large areas with minimal resources (human, equipment, etc…)
Prioritizing of the surveillance areas - focused alarming of the operator(s)
Remote control ability – C2
Quick C2 functionality deployment
Cooperation ability of the sensor subsystems (slew-to-cue)

SENSOR INTEGRATION

The system is based on our proven PGSR-3i ‘Beagle’ Ground Surveillance Radar (1), which is used for detecting moving ground targets, provides target detection, tracking, and classification information. The system can be efficiently operated in extreme weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, large fog, dust, etc…). Thermal and daylight cameras (cooled, uncooled, LWIR, SWIR) is utilized for detailed recognition and identification as secondary sensor. Integrating any other sensor for special environments or target specifications is also possible.
