Perimeter Security Case Study by Dr Frucht:
In order to evaluate the potential market, we will look to 2 market segments where our products exhibit a clear advantage: fixed perimeter systems ( border and infrastructure) and mobile security systems.
In the fixed perimeter systems field we are competing with the Video Motion Detectors (VMD). The VMD is based on the picture analysis. During the last 2-3 years several tests were conducted and they brought up the high sensibility of VMD to the outdoor environment.
The advantage of our sensors is that they are "active", they do not analyze shadows but asses if there is an intruder by measuring the changes in the distances between the background and the target and size of the suspected object. Moreover, it can take into account the target movement characteristics such as speed, directions etc. Due to the high resolution of our sensors in range and angle (centimeters and milliradians) the software can discriminate the movement of vegetation.
The sensors developed by the company where designed for mobile applications. They are robust, rigid, not affected by urban environment and vegetation, easy to install (can be operational within tens of seconds) and by adding Power Supply (batteries) and Wire Less they are easy to become "virtual guardians".
Our sensors were integrated in mobile / portable security systems for deployed forces, landing airplanes and helicopters, missile sites etc. Typically, those sites are located in urban areas where our sensors perform much better than other sensors and especially radars and mobile VMD or IR barriers.
The civilian market of mobile systems focuses on events such as Olympic Games, VIP meetings, VIP landing airplanes etc. In those events there can not be delivered physical fences, barb wire etc., thus the solution is virtual fencing.
It is emphasized that there are additional market segments where our company can offer the products such as anti pirate security systems for large naval vessels , civilian yachts , pool safety, safety in various automotive areas ( such as detecting people crossing the rails in train , metro stations , airport runways, intersection between train rails and roads ) etc.
