A new air-mounted perimeter security technology

Abstract

A sensing technology applicable to perimeter security applications is described. It provides the well-known terrain-following features of conventional buried-line-guided radar sensors and adds a larger above ground detection zone. The principles and features of this coupled-wave sensing technology are discussed as well as specific sensor implementation. The sensors under development include a rapid deployment line sensor for mobile resources or for temporary replacement of other failed line sensors and a permanent perimeter block sensor to provide a covert detection zone several meters high and wide.<>
