The sensor suite, integrated onto a FORD F-150 FX4 Off-road chassis to enable rapid deployment, also includes SRC Inc’s SR Hawk ground surveillance radar, the PVPAEO Night Hawk thermal/visible camera suite, the U.S Towers ALERT Self Leveling Tower, as well as, GPS and laser range finder capability.
Geospatial video analytics
The ALERT Truck Mobile Surveillance System, or ALERT Truck, is designed for rapid deployment and maneuverability. It includes multiple sensors (radar, thermal camera, visible camera, geospatial video analytics, laser range finder, self-leveling mast, and GPS), as well as, a complete command and control VMS software integrated into a mobile vehicle platform. Its mobility, long range surveillance and automated detection is specifically designed for guarding borders and ensuring perimeter security of critical infrastructure.
“We saw an increasing need for mobile platforms which could provide advanced surveillance and control at long distances,” explains Geoff Miller, Manager, Program and Business Development at PVPAEO. “More important than just creating a mobile platform, was the need to select the best sensors in the industry and provide them in a well-integrated system.”
