Elbit Systems has introduced for the first time, in India, its UGS system for continuous force or border protection using a variety of advanced sensors—The “Treasures”. The system was presented at the Defexpo while the company subsequently officially launched it at the Singapore Airshow.

Elbit Systems introduced the system components and explained that it is based on a combination of four main sensors – A sand sensor sensitive to vibrations, an acoustic sensor (both of these are set in the ground), a miniature tactical radar which can “cover” an area at up to an angle of 60 and a still camera that launches photographs according to a predetermined rate. The sensors are connected to command and control and communication systems, which process the information and transmit it to the back post.

The new system enables to ‘cover’ a wide area, such as the Israel-Egypt border, without having to station troops along the long border. The variety of sensors can alert on any suspicious event, and if necessary a force is summoned to the area.
