Following an armed terrorist attack on an air force base, the Indian Military initiated a pilot project to select an integrated perimeter security system for deployments at 23 air bases. The multi-layered solution includes an array of sensing technologies including fiber optic based vibrations sensors, ground radar, cameras and perimeter fencing - all integrated by a central command and control system to provide detailed real time situational awareness.

Antalya Airport is an international airport located 13km (8.1 miles) northeast of the city centre of Antalya, Turkey. It handles approximately 19 million passengers per year - making it the third-busiest airport in Turkey and the thirtieth busiest in Europe. Due to the airport’s significance, Turkey’s Aviation Authority set a precedent for the site in terms of security design and, following successful installation, extended this approach to the airports across Turkey.

A youth detention centre in Northern Australia required a perimeter intrusion detection solution that could reliably operate in challenging environmental conditions while accurately detecting attempted escapes or incursions over a perforated metal fence. Advanced signal processing and algorithms were required to avoid nuisance alarms caused by the impact of monsoonal rain on the secure rigid metal fence.

The excellent support from OEM suppliers contributed to the overall success of the project and I would have no hesitation in recommending FFT’s solution for future projects.
