Thermal Video Integration with UGS System

Abstract

For security, early warning of an attack or intrusion can help save many lives and result in success without losing any single resource. For a Unit or a specific Base to know of a raid being conducted on them before the commencement of the attack, the soldiers can be mentally and physically prepared for the counter attack. In this situation, the counter attack will be a surprise on the intruders or enemy where they will lose their focus and will be forced to retreat. A failed raid of an enemy will result in their defeat and hence defense will be held strong. For the purpose of defense, Pakistan Army is using Unattended Ground Sensor System (UGS System). Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) System is an early warning system which is used for the purpose of surveillance and intrusion detection in unattended areas/gasps in defense, border access conflicts and 24/7 perimeter security of designated area. Currently the system is facing limitations with regard to uncertainty of data collected through different sensors. This is causing wastage of resources, time, budget and manpower. To counter these issues, this updated system integrates live video transmission from different sensors during normal operations to the user at Command, Control and Intelligence (C2I) Station. It will helps user to identify targets, number of intruders, enemy’s weaponry and even the enemy’s plan. Hence the user will be able to enhance security by take action accordingly and defeating the enemy or eliminating risk of intruders. When an intrusion is detected by a specific sensor, it broadcasts an alarm to the user at Command, Control and Intelligence (C2I) Station, the system provides the interface at the Command, Control and Intelligence (C2I) Station to check the live transmission of viii that particular area transmitted by video camera installed. The transmission will provide us distinction between different objects, their behavior and appearance. This distinction will help the user to take timely action, thus saving the precious lives of soldiers and civilians.
