Include 'Perimeter Intrusion Detection' Systems
And now, a look into the current state-of-the-art in airport
security. Elbit Systems announced Monday its subsidiary, Elbit
Security Systems ELSEC, was recently awarded two airport defense
contracts.
The first project calls for the upgrade of the security system
in a European international airport. The international airport
project includes the upgrade of the existing electronic systems, a
new control room and the training of the technical and security
teams.
The Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PID) will include an
active fence technology, long- and medium-range day and night
surveillance systems, checkpoints and Command & Control
systems.
The second contract calls for the supply of Perimeter Intrusion
Detection systems for three central airports in another country.
The systems base on active fence technology, day and night
surveillance systems, and Command & Control systems.
Both contracts are valued at "several million dollars."
ELSEC is also the developer, integrator and supplier of the
"Code Positive" system to the Israeli Ministry of Transportation.
The system increases civil aviation safety levels by identifying
aircraft and pilots nearing Israel who are under threat of a terror
attack.
"Our selection for these airport security projects reflects once
more Elbit Systems' leadership in this emerging field," said Uri
Dobkin, ELSEC General Manager. "We expect that the globally
increasing demand for integrated homeland security solutions, as
well as our accumulating experience, will create more opportunities
already in the near future."
