Ranger® GRIDS
Ground-based Detection of Motion in Dense Foliage and Rough Terrain
Detecting Intruders in Rough Terrain
Border and perimeter surveillance often requires operation in areas that cannot be practically covered by ground surveillance radars and optical systems due to terrain and foliage. These coverage “gaps” provide ideal pathways for intruders to breach secured areas without being detected.
Filling Coverage Gaps
Ranger® GRIDS provides a low cost system designed to fill these gaps with a virtually undetectable electronic sensor system. Each Ranger GRIDS system consists of an array of very low power sensors set up along a border or around a perimeter. Multiple systems can be implemented to form a sensor barrier of any length, from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers.
Ranger GRIDS system sensors can be buried, leaving only a small camouflaged antenna above ground. Intruders are detected when they pass between adjacent sensors. Unattended, each sensor has a potential operational life of more than five years.
