The company's border security capabilities that will be featured
at Border Security Expo include:
- Integrated Fixed Towers. The Integrated Fixed Towers
(IFT) system is an affordable, effective, and successfully deployed
border security solution. It currently provides 24/7 surveillance
capability along portions of the Arizona border. It uses radars and cameras
mounted on towers, connected through a communications network to
command and control centers at Border Patrol Stations. The system
helps keep America and our U.S. Border Patrol Agents safe by
providing a high degree of situational awareness along the border.
The program was recognized by industry for innovative and best
practices, program excellence, most notable border security program
and best federal government security program.
- Integrated Border Security Operations. During the show,
step into the Border Security Operations Center simulator for the
opportunity to experience a command and control center that
incorporates some of our most advanced border security solutions in
an integrated operating picture for improved situational
awareness.
- Panoramic Wide Area Persistent Surveillance Systems.
Elbit Systems GroundEye is a proven solution for providing
operational control over wide stretches of terrain in both time and
space. The capability includes high-resolution video capture, large
area footprint recording, and analysis at close and long range. The
SupervisIR is an infrared Wide Area Persistent Surveillance System
(WAPS), which brings unprecedented surveillance and situational
awareness capabilities to the user. The technology can be installed
as part of legacy surveillance systems and networks, and used by
border agents in vehicles or on the ground.
- Mission-critical Broadband Services for First
Responders. With Widebridge Cloud™ and SmartResponder™,
reliable, secure, and P25-compliant smartphones interoperate over

app-based solution extends situational awareness, first responder
safety, and value to served communities.

VIDAR and Da-Vinci Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) will be on
display during the show. The VIDAR provides unparalleled utility
and reliability to the UAS market. The battery-powered small UAS
features a universal payload mounting system that enables one
aircraft to support multiple vertically mounted payload
configurations during any deployment. The Da-Vinci vertical
take-off and landing (VTOL) is a low altitude, small UAS designed
for a wide range of weather and terrain conditions. The Da-Vinci
