Dynetics Debuts Surveillance Radar For Critical Infrastructure

Recognizing the importance of closing security gaps in critical infrastructure,Dynetics has introduced a ground surveillance radar specifically designed to meet the perimeter security challenges of a critical infrastructure environment.

The new GroundAware CS4 Radar provides critical infrastructure security stakeholders with the real-time information needed to instantaneously respond to intruders before they breach a perimeter, including the restricted areas at airports, power plants, utility facilities, water systems, prisons, and other facilities.

Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, Dynetics began its career with a contract for air and missile defense applications and grew to become an expert in radar. A few years ago, the company’s former CEO challenged the Dynetics team of engineers to develop a brand new capability, rather than an adaption of a military-grade product repurposed for perimeter security.

The result was a radar utilizing an S-band, a radiofrequency band chosen for its ability to operate in all weather conditions. Tom Gates, Director of Product Marketing at Dynetics, told Homeland Security Todaythat one of the big issues with ground radar is false alarms, which are often weather induced, such as tree branches moving.
