Spider The cornerstone of BAE Systems' Homeland security solution
12 Jun 2006
BAE Systems border and perimeter protection and coastal surveillance focus at Eurosatory 2006 is on Spider a highly flexible command and control system. Integrating a wide range of sensors for specific roles and requirements, Spider can operate independently or networked with Deployable Surveillance Units (DSUs) and fixed installations.
Spider is at the heart of the BAE Systems DSU, which combines state of the art radar, electrical optical (E-O) and infra-red (IR) cameras and motion sensors. In networked configurations the situational awareness picture is automatically relayed to other units or the command headquarters via a fully integrated communication system including VSAT, UHF and VHF.
Dealing effectively with a diverse range of existing and emerging threats is the cornerstone of BAE Systems homeland security solutions. The protection of people, assets and infrastructure, while maintaining national security and economic stability is paramount. An effective response requires efficient integration, information sharing and co-operation between a range of traditional and non-traditional security organisations, supported by novel technology and capability insertion by industry.
Homeland security integrates the requirements of many domains, including counter terrorism and asymmetric threat, law enforcement, critical national infrastructure, immigration and national security. BAE Systems has a breadth of capability that enables the analysis and delivery of innovative and scalable solutions and develops technologies to support operations in the security environment, focused on layered system solutions.
By implementing effective systems which contribute to incident mitigation, response recovery, attribution and analysis through interoperability, using visualisation and experimental environments BAE Systems is developing complete solutions to customers homeland security and perimeter security requirements.
