Coastal Surveillance Systems
Elbit Security Systens ("ELSEC") Coastal Surveillance and Management System (ICSS) is a highly sophisticated, multi-layer system employing advanced surveillance from autonomous, remotely operated sites. These sites feature long-range coastal surveillance radar synchronized with a long-range day-night video surveillance system LORROS®. Each site is a self-sufficient unit, in terms of power, communication, site security and processing. This enables independent deployment of sites in stages.
The system is remote-controlled from a central control room. All the data from the sites is routed to the central control room via wireless, fiber-optic, or other existing communication infrastructure, where it is processed and displayed.
Advantages include:
- High probability of detection, identification and classification of maritime targets and low-altitude aircraft (by radars and EO sensors)
- Advanced functions for evaluating and analyzing tactical information
- Fast and robust processing to allow handling of high-density environments
- Fast, wide and reliable method of collection and distribution of information among physically scattered decision makers
- Minimum work force – high level of automation
• Cost effective - easy to operate and maintain
• Flexible design for configuration changes
The core of this system is comprised of :
- High performance, long-range coast surveillance radar, specially adapted to coastal and sea environments (clutter and sea environment)
- High quality long-range day/night/laser observation systems, employing third generation thermal imagers
- Observation towers complete with their own power unit, perimeter fence and site security
- Wide-band wireless communication modules for each coastal surveillance site
- Optional mobile surveillance vehicles for coverage of areas not covered by the towers
- Personal surveillance sensors, such as hand-held third generation thermal imagers, night vision goggles and personal equipment
- Digitized control center facilitating coastal surveillance and management software, large LCD displays, digital maps and high tech control console for the operators
