The Border Security Challenge |
Border security remains a key homeland security challenge.
- Border guards, surveillance operators, and command staff do not have an integrated command and control system to protect national borders.
- There is a lack of sufficient coverage from sensors and cameras. Important threats are lost in an overload of information from false alarms.
- The collaboration and communications needed for tactical intercept missions is lacking.
- Wide and diverse terrain coupled with large-scale population centers, sea ports, and national boundaries make a difficult environment to effectively scale-up border surveillance
Yet for all the advances in surveillance equipment we are still left with border guards struggling with high false alarm rates and low probability of detection and intercept.
- There are just too many cameras and not enough border forces tomonitor them all.
- Threats are lost because of too many false alarms.
- The cost of verifying targets, escalating them into threats, and dispatching response teams is too high.
- Intercept mission teams do not have effective collaboration tools.
- Intelligence and threat pattern analysis is just too timeconsuming to thwart the next intrusion.

Perimeter and Border Monitoring |
|
Far-field cameras, thermal vision, and pan/tilt/zoom cameras are used to remotely monitor border zones. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fly continuous GPS-guided missions to give operators a bird’s eye view. Surveillance towers typically use radar as a cost-effective way to get broad sensor coverage of diverse border zone terrain. Intrusion detection systems like underground buried cables are used to monitor electromagnetic field changes to distinguish between people, vehicles and animals at a perimeter. Outdoor motion detection is also done with microwave and infrared sensors. Intelligent pressure fence sensors detect when intruders climb or cut a fence-line.
