Anti-smuggling Surveillance

Riverine, coastal and border corridors monitored 24/7 to deter and interdict smuggling activities.

Industry Challenges
  • Night and low-visibility operations mask small targets
  • Manual patrols scale poorly along long corridors
  • Cameras alone struggle with range, fog and rain
  • High false alarms without target context
Anti-smuggling Surveillance

Scenario Overview

Smuggling routes exploit blind spots along rivers, coastlines and land borders. Radar delivers persistent detection of small boats, low-profile vehicles and personnel, enabling early interdiction.

Architecture & Workflow

  1. Surveillance radars watch defined corridors and trigger event zones.
  2. PTZ cameras auto-cue for visual confirmation and capture.
  3. Command center receives alerts with target track, speed and heading.
  4. Patrol teams receive tasks for intercept; evidence archived.

Operations & Integration

  • Open interfaces to VMS/PSIM and maritime systems (AIS)
  • Health monitoring, remote firmware updates, and diagnostics
  • Policy-driven geofencing and alerting profiles for shifts

Advantages

Real-time Detection
Continuous radar monitoring across critical routes and choke points.
Multi-sensor Fusion
Radar cues PTZ cameras; optional AIS, EO/IR and acoustic fusion.
Extended Coverage
Networked nodes deliver long-range, wide corridor coverage.
Low False Alarms
AI-assisted classification for vessels and small, low-RCS targets.
Rapid Intercept
Instant alerts to patrol teams and command posts for response.
All-weather, Day/Night
Operational through rain, fog and darkness.

Workflow

  1. Coverage Planning
    Define riverine/coastal corridors, sectors and chokepoints.
  2. Corridor Surveillance
    Detect small boats, vehicles and personnel under all weather.
  3. Fusion & Filtering
    Correlate radar with AIS/whitelists; suppress nuisance tracks.
  4. Multi‑target Tracking
    Maintain tracks and intent for multiple targets across sectors.
  5. Intercept Cueing
    Cue patrols with speed/heading; handover to teams on the ground.
  6. Evidence & Reporting
    Archive tracks and video; generate reports for prosecution.
Key Use Cases
  • Near‑shore small craft detection and dark vessel monitoring
  • River checkpoints and bridge chokepoints with automated alarms
  • Cross‑border road corridors for low‑profile vehicle detection
  • Restricted harbor basins and port perimeter surveillance
  • Evidence collection and chain‑of‑custody for legal proceedings
