FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems of
America has successfully integrated data supplied by Sintela's
fiber optics-based Linear Ground Detection Systems (LGDS) into the
Elbit Systems' TORCH™ Command & Control system used by the
United States Border Patrol.
Sintela's LGDS – called Onyx – provides surface and subterranean
surveillance and threat detection in support of the Border Wall
System (BWS), along America's southern border. The LGDS provides an
added layer of security to the steel-and-concrete constructed
physical border wall. Elbit Systems of America is prepared to
deliver and install the innovative LGDS system that automatically
detects and identifies threats, using machine learning.
"Aided by the TORCH™ system's autonomy and artificial
intelligence, Border Patrol Agents will be able to more safely and
efficiently perform their national security duties," said
Joel Friederich, Elbit Systems of
America's Vice President for C4I and Homeland Security Systems. "We
are pleased to partner with Sintela, making Elbit Systems of
America now the exclusive U.S. distributor of their market-leading
and fully-compliant LGDS system."
Sintela – headquartered in the United
Kingdom, with associate offices around the world – is a
global leader in advanced sensing technology, with experience
working on complicated infrastructure projects such as the U.S.
BWS.
Elbit Systems of America is the prime contractor for the
Integrated Fixed Towers (IFT) program that provides more than 7,000
square miles of protection on the southern border with long-range
surveillance technology. Through the company's application of
disciplined innovation, the IFT program has earned a reputation as
an exceptional provider in cyber security, schedule, and overall
system performance. The company's experience with IFT will greatly
benefit the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Border Patrol as they
construct the technology infrastructure integral to the BWS.
