Base Security on the Border
The Problem
A military base located on the border of two nations in Africa was under constant threat of attack from a well-known and very lethal terrorist group. Given the heavy vegetation surrounding the base, personnel and cameras had a hard time determining enemy positions. This left the base vulnerable to a surprise attack, particularly at night.
The Solution
The military base needed an accurate threat detection system that could alert the entire base should the enemy approach when least expected. Pathfinder was installed around the base perimeter inside and outside a security fence and integrated into an alert system featuring abase-wide intercom system and automated lights.
The Result
Unknown to the enemy, Pathfinder detected their approach and triggered the base alert system. This allowed the military unit to prepare a hasty defense and all the activity caused the terrorist to flee without firing a single shot. Pathfinder sensors monitored their retreat into the vegetation.
THE PATHFINDER ADVANTAGE
Automated Targeting
Pathfinder can integrate with ground and air-based camera systems put eyes on target as anautomated “slew to cue” or “fly to cue” capability.
Undetectable
With only the antenna exposed, Pathfinder is undetectable to the human eye and its short burst radio signal is hidden in the noise.
User-Friendly
Simplified wireless architecture allows for easy installation.
