HENSOLDT Border Protection

Situational awareness tailored for border protection

National borders present huge security challenges. There are thousands of kilometres to be monitored, varied landscapes, a lack of infrastructure and a range of emerging threats to citizens and critical infrastructure. This includes piracy, terrorism, migrant smuggling, trafficking of hazardous goods and other cross-border crime activities.

Protection against these threats is essential for a nation’s homeland security, economic prosperity and national sovereignty. Our portfolio is based on high-end technology to detect vehicles, people, drones and vessels at a large distance under the harshest environments, facilitating appropriate border control as well as lawful trade and travel.

Border challenges

  • Surveillance gaps on air, land and sea borders
  • Unauthorized movement of goods and people
  • International boundaries with unclear demarcated areas
  • Threats to the safety and security of communities at the border
  • Topography and environmental challenges
  • Lack of IT infrastructure in remote areas
  • Number of border-crossing points to coordinate and maintain
  • Cross-border crime activities

About

As one-stop-shop for multiple, networked security and surveillance solutions, HENSOLDT offers complete border security solutions with a strong focus on mid and long-range surveillance including relevant intelligence like OSINT to enhance situational awareness.

Therefore we have developed a variety of pre-configured solutions for multiple applications, reducing implementation complexity and allowing for physical relocation. With our user-friendly Command and Control software, remotely controlled situational awareness is guaranteed. As additional benefit for customer nations, our border protection technologies can be integrated with existing border security systems.

Applications

Scenario: Temporary surveillance zones

Rapidly evolving conflict zones due to unpredictable events at the border. Temporary disputes in a specific location that do not require permanent surveillance, but need rapidly deployable solutions. Requirements for monitoring events and sharing relevant information to the authorities in real time.

Example: Short-range mobile

Fixed or mobile installation for short/mid-range surveillance

  • Trailer, mast or vehicle
  • Cameras e.g. NightOwl
  • Radars e.g. Spexer 360
  • 3rd party urban radars
  • RF sensors
  • Sensor fusion
  • Independent power generation

Scenario: Filling border coverage gaps

Key “hard-to-get-to” zones to be monitored along the border with challenging environmental conditions and a lack of IT infrastructure. Requirements for semi-permanent equipment with the option of relocation and mid-range surveillance missions.

Example: Mid-range shelter

Preconfigured shelter solutions with the option to relocate

  • IT equipped shelter
  • Camera e.g. NightOwl ZM
  • Radars e.g. Spexer 500
  • Direction finders e.g. SkyScan7x
  • Jammers
  • Sensor fusion

Scenario: Complete border surveillance

Areas that require long-distance surveillance to effectively detect illegal intrusions up to several kilometres away in real time and automatically. Requirements of end-to-end border protection solutions from planning, implementation and evaluation with complete fixed infrastructure

Example: Long-range fixed installation

Long-range surveillance to ensure safety and security along the whole border.

  • Camera e.g. NightOwl M
  • Land radars e.g. Spexer 2000
  • Sensor fusion
  • Command and Control (C2) stations
  • IT infrastructure

Operating mode

Knowing, understanding, acting

HENSOLDT´s border protection is working in a three step funcionality: A mix of sensors detects and tracks potential threats, so that the operators know there is something out there. By using smart sensors and machine-learning technologies, our solutions can verify and classify the detected threats – they understands what is happening. Based on this, operators can react directly by a variety of integrated effectors to defeat or mitigate the identified danger.
