Bolstering Sensor Networks

Modern security challenges require sensor networks capable of real-time visibility and early warnings against diverse threats. These networks should integrate multiple sensor types - radar, optical, acoustic, seismic, electromagnetic, chemical and more - to detect, classify, and monitor threats across borders, critical infrastructure, and military sites.


Effective networks rely on scalable production and deployment strategies, ensuring wide coverage, reliable power solutions, and long operational lifespans. Seamless integration with Command and Control (C2) systems, Intelligence platforms, and Battle Management Systems (BMS) is essential for rapid data fusion and actionable insights.


Incorporating elements like AI-driven analytics enhances situational awareness and supports predictive threat analysis, but the focus must also extend to practical challenges like maintaining performance, durability, and scalability to safeguard critical assets effectively.
