The events of September 11th sharpened the focus on protecting high-value assets and the importance of integrated surveillance systems. Reliable and accurate sensors that provide continuous surveillance in any weather, 24 hours a day are required to meet this security challenge. Our family of Integrated Surveillance Systems (IS2) provides solutions for protecting ports, coastal installations, and oil platforms with early and accurate detection of potential threats. The integrated surveillance systems product line of coastal protection systems combines passive RF, radar, sonar, AIS, and electro-optical systems to provide a complete coastal protection solution. The modular system approach allows system designers to tailor the sensor suite to support the exact configuration. The integrated surveillance systems product line includes a web-enabled software suite providing the utmost of flexibility for remote system control and monitoring. The open architecture design methodology used in integrated surveillance systems facilitates the exchange of surveillance data products with other C4ISR systems.

A typical integrated surveillance systems IS2 solution optimized for port protection would include:

• A 360 degree Sonar Module for underwater intrusion detection
• An Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver and processor for commercial ship identification and tracking
• A surface search radar with integrated ARPA tracker for surface target detection
• A forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensor for heat signature detection
• A charge coupled device (CCD) based camera for optical surveillance and identification
• An Electronic Surveillance System (ES2) for RF signal detection and identification
• All component sensors are TCP/IP addressable
