In today’s ever changing world where security threats are often difficult to predict, advance warning is critical to military and civil defence. The WASP (Wide Area Security Platform) provides the key to ensuring intrusion threats are detected and communicated as early as possible in order that response teams may react without delay.

The WASP is a rapidly deployable radar based security system that provides intrusion detection, visual verification,annunciation and communication. It is easy to install and configure, can be rapidly deployed and is reusable.

In optimal conditions a single WASP system can detect and track multiple ground based intrusions over an area greater than 2km² in all weather conditions night or day. WASP uses 360° ground based radar for detection of an intrusion, once a target is detected a track will be initiated.

Simultaneously as the track is plotted by the radar software the optical and thermal imaging cameras are automatically directed for visual verification, multiple intrusions are tracked with the optical sensors being directed on a time sharing basis. The radar has exceptional range resolution of just 25cm therefore enabling the user to accurately determine the number of targets approaching.
