MARSS have announced a contract with an unspecified Middle Eastern Government for its RADiRguard smart perimeter surveillance system. The contract for a critical national infrastructure installation provides for the protection of a 12km high security perimeter.
RADiRguard is described as a smart perimeter surveillance system combining multiple sensors and complementary technologies inside a single intelligent unit. The makers say it can detect classify objects in advance of reaching a perimeter, by its built-in radar, video imaging and radio frequency detection. It is then able to classify the threats and issue notifications using its integral behavioural analysis software. The makers say it can provide surveillance for fuel storage facilities, power stations, water treatment plants, nuclear facilities, airports, ports, bridges and high value buildings.
RADiRguard coverage shape and extension is adaptable by changing the number and configuration of sensors. In a typical configuration, a single RADiRguard unit provides 400m by 100m of coverage along a perimeter wall or fence. The system can detect and track multiple known and unknown objects including humans, animals and vehicles.
The initial detection and tracking is by compact micro-radar. Behavioural algorithms provide the first classification. Camera footage is then analysed by AI (artificial intelligence) for object recognition to provide more precise classification, and this classification is further augmented by analysing GSM/Wi-Fi/VHF signals emitted by object and other intelligence data bases. This provides a risk level for each tracked object and if the object is deemed a risk then the system automatically notifies security personnel with the exact location and a live video feed supporting interception.
The makers add that RADiRguard can be integrated into a security system or as part of the MARSS NiDAR long-range surveillance system for protecting coastal and land-based critical infrastructure from air, surface and underwater threats.
