SubscribeAIMS is the only radar on the market built specifically for networked security applications.
It provides low power, light weight, radar surveillance solutions for detecting humans, vehicles and ships. This all-weather system also provides smart cueing of cameras. Potential intruders entering oil fields and refineries, bases, or crossing borders can now be detected and located on a map at distances of up to five kilometers following the launch of a family of radar products by Detection Monitoring Technologies "DMT", an innovative radar design, development and technology company.
The radar systems, named AIMS "Area Intrusion Monitoring System" operate with uniquely low power and very light weight solid state components. The ability to detect a walking human target at over 1.5 kilometers using 1 watt of peak power, continuously scan 360°, and operate 24 hours a day in all weather, set this system apart from all its competitors. Vehicles are detected 3-5 km (based on size and orientation). Longer detection ranges are possible using higher power versions for the AIMS system. Systems with up to 80 watts of peak power are available.
Drawing on many years of specialized radar design expertise, DMT has developed the AIMS Fast-Scan specifically for wide area surveillance. This is in stark contrast to many battlefield surveillance radar systems that are being pushed into security. The AIMS products are designed to hook directly in local and wide area networks and operate using static or dynamic IP addresses. The AIMS systems automatically control new or existing cameras directly from the radar itself, which is different from many radar systems that control cameras from the user interface or remote processor. The AIMS has the widest temperature specifications on the market and will soon (Fall 2006) be the first radar in the worldwide market with EX (explosive environment) certification.
The AIMS radar has the finest Doppler (speed) resolution capability on the market. And the AIMS has the largest selection of upgrade paths to allow performance enhances for certain missions. These upgrades include 10 antenna selections, 10 power output modules, integration options, and numerous add-on software modules. Unlike most radar systems, AIMS can be set up by one person in minutes and does not require any calibration or a rocket scientist to operate.
The AIMS radar is a truly Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar system. Its microwatt average power level is much less than the more traditional radar systems employed for security. The system is a solid-state X-Band radar operating at 9.23 GHz. This frequency permits much better performance in all types of weather, which is not true for many radar systems operating in Kuband (about 18 GHz).
AIMS uses advanced detection algorithms designed to reject spurious energy reflected from grass and shrubs. Wind driven affects on the surroundings has little if any effect on the detection or performance of the system. Even trees found in the landscape or in parking lots has little effect on the system. AIMS has a low false alarms rate.
AIMS may be installed as a permanent system or provided as a man-portable, battlefield surveillance system. AIMS may also be provided as a "turn-key" system, with monitoring, the radar and cameras all supplied. User interfaces graphically present detections on map overlays. Video can be provided integrated into the same display.
AIMS can be deployed in peacetime or war to safeguard valuable asset areas, including oil fields, power stations and other potential targets, from terrorist or criminal acts. This all-weather system is suited for assisting in counter-drug operations, control of border intrusion and force protection.
