Ensure Monitoring the Current Border Situation with IBSS

HAVELSAN is one of the leading technology companies of Türkiye, established in 1982 as a corporation affiliated with the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation. Thanks to its decades-long experience and highly qualified human resources, HAVELSAN provides high technology-based software-intensive solutions and products for armed forces, public and private sectors at home and abroad.

HAVELSAN Integrated Border Security System (IBSS) is developed to protect a wide critical and strategical areas against any threats that attempt to cross borders and attack critical facilities. IBSS can be scripted upon scenarios that include popular threats, possible threats, geography-specific threats, and so on. IBSS is based on a hybrid architecture that combines distributed data fusion and central command & control and generates Joint Border Picture from continuously updated Recognized Land, Maritime Border Pictures, and Critical Facility Situation received from sublevel C4I systems.

IBSS ensures monitoring of the current border situation on a tactical level with UAV/COMBAT UAV integration. In addition to that, the IBSS also ensures necessary information flow in an absolute and accurate manner and provides increased situational awareness for dismounted border units.

The IBSS will be complemented with a number of borderline surveillance sites across the border, land assets such as Radar, Electro-Optical Cameras, Remote Controlled Weapons and unattended sensors, surface assets including patrolling vehicles and personnel equipment.

Perimeter protection of the bases and facilities behind the borderline, from surveillance sites to bases and headquarters is also ensured in the IBSS scope. Casual CCTV solution in these areas with Video Analytics for software supported surveillance is further enhanced with SWIR cameras, Motion Detection Sensors, Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensors, UAVs for increased intrusion detection and controlled entry/exit/access control systems with road blockers, barriers, strengthened gates, ballistic guard houses for extended physical security purposes.

Besides Border Security, maritime security and defense technologies are the essential part of integrated border security. As Land Border Security, the coast guard is a crucial element of the Integrated Border Security and Management System concept.

HAVELSAN CSRS aims to provide situational awareness with radar coating for the countries’ coastal and territorial waters to create the Recognized Maritime Picture by supporting data from electro-optic sensors, Public Institutions, and/or other organizations. CSRS also increases the effectiveness of search and rescue, outpost, and reconnoitering activities.

With the completion of the project, all territorial waters and adjacent areas within our country's sovereignty will be fully and effectively monitored, and crimes such as smuggling, illegal immigration, fishing, and marine pollution will be combated more effectively.

HAVELSAN is the main contractor of the first phase of the project for developing a CSRS software integrated into itself and with external systems/institutions and for the installation and integration of coastal surveillance stations and operations centers in order to ensure uninterrupted surveillance of the countries with the coastline using radar and electro-optical sensors.
