STS-12000
Long-Range Perimeter Surveillance Radar
Sentry Radar
The STS-12000 system provides automated wide area surveillance, tracking and classification of intruding personnel, vehicles and low flying aircrafts. The sensor relays and communicates the information to a command post for response determination. The STS-12000 is designed for force protection, border surveillance, airport security, perimeter surveillance and other security applications. The STS-12000 is available in fixed or mobile configurations.
The STS-12000 system is engineered to be an integrated radar and optical verification system. The radar system is a low power radio frequency (RF) surveillance system, while the optical system can be selected based upon user application. Configured for either day or night modes of operation, the STS-12000 can use video, infrared and/or thermal imaging technologies. The communications subsystem is also site dependent, and can be hardwired, fiber optic and/or have microwave interfaces as required. The power source of the STS-12000 can be AC, DC (battery) or solar powered, if necessary.
The command post of the radar consists of PC compatible software that presents an overlay of the radar data upon a topological map, line drawing, street map, etc. The operator has control over both the radar and the optics, or the system can function automatically. At the ranges the STS-12000 provides, it is even possible to hold the system in an inactive, monitoring-only mode, not transmitting data or activating the cameras until the radar has detected motion, thus extending system lifetime and reducing cost.
