Security & Surveillance Systems

DeTect’s HARRIER^® line of radars can be used for airspace and marine security applications to monitor a range of targets including aircraft, ultralights, drones, and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), helicopters, ships, and boats. 

HARRIER^® provides full, multi-functional surveillance coverage from ground level to altitudes above 20,000 feet AGL with simultaneous air and marine target detection, tracking and automatic intrusion alerting.

HARRIER^® is an ideal, cost-effective solution for many force protection and homeland and industrial security applications.

HARRIER^® shares a common platform with DeTect’s MERLIN^® system that was designed specifically for detection and tracking of small radar cross section (RCS) targets in high clutter environments, and offers the highest level of performance available for detection, tracking and identification of drones and small UASs.

A Vessel Traffic System (VTS) 

VTS is a shore-side service designed to improve the safety and efficiency of vessel traffic, particularly in busy waterways and ports.

Vessel Traffic Systems are essential for managing maritime traffic and ensuring safe navigation. They provide various services, including monitoring vessel movements, issuing navigational warnings, and facilitating communication between vessels and traffic control centers. The primary goals of VTS include:

• Enhancing Safety: VTS helps prevent collisions, groundings, and other maritime accidents by monitoring vessel positions and movements in real-time.
• Improving Efficiency: By managing traffic flow, VTS can optimize vessel movements, reduce delays and improving overall operational efficiency in busy ports and waterways.
• Environmental Protection: VTS plays a crucial role in protecting marine environments by managing traffic in sensitive areas and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Key Features and Technologies

VTS utilizes a combination of technologies to monitor and manage vessel traffic effectively, including:

• Radar Systems: Radar technology is used to detect and track vessels, providing additional situational awareness for traffic controllers. This radar can also be used forAircraft Detection Lighting Systems and assist in long range bird migration data collection.
• Automatic Identification System (AIS): This system allows vessels to automatically transmit their position, course, and speed to VTS centers, enabling real-time tracking.
• Communication Systems: VHF radio communication is essential for direct communication between vessels and VTS operators, allowing for timely navigational advice and warnings.
