Abstract :
Time Domain has developed a perimeter security system based on an array of its commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) UWB radios, which operate as radars in a mono-static or bi-static mode. The system consists of UWB radios within poles, a wired network delivering data to a server and software operating on the server. The wired network and server are constructed from COTS components. Much of the system is implemented in software making the system open and easily upgradable. As a radar based system, it can track and classify intruders in all weather.
