Newest addition to Falcon Watch(TM) family offers complete
unattended ground sensor functionality in a very small package
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and
information technology company, has introduced the new Falcon Watch
RF-5400VH-SS Mini-Sensor as part of the Harris(R) Falcon Watch(TM)
Remote Intrusion Detection and Surveillance System. The Mini-Sensor
provides a complete solution for unattended sensing of personnel or
vehicles in remote environments. It is ideally suited to force
protection missions, the defense of military installations, as well
as for the protection of borders and other assets associated with
national security. Utilizing seismic, magnetic or passive infrared
detectors, the Mini-Sensor can remotely report intrusions using
customized voice prompts or short data bursts. It uses
off-the-shelf batteries, and supplies remote intrusion detection
solutions for a variety of critical applications that require long
operational life. "The new Falcon Watch Mini-Sensor is small,
lightweight and allows for rapid deployment of sensors in a force
protection application while its extended operational life makes it
ideally suited for remote monitoring applications," said Joe
Sternowski, director of Growth Programs at Harris RF
Communications. "The sensor's capability of transmitting alarms
using both voice and data provides the user with more efficient
real-time sensor alerts while automatically getting the information
to all necessary decision makers." Weighing just 0.8 pounds, the
Mini-Sensor is approximately the size of a baseball and can be
easily transported to a mission and concealed upon emplacement. The
Mini-Sensor can support a mission for six months without requiring
replacement of the lithium 9-volt batteries that power the unit,
and tamper alarms are broadcast if the Mini-Sensor is disturbed
after emplacement. Designed to be buried underground, the
Mini-Sensor can withstand the harshest environments. The
Mini-Sensor RF-5400VH-SS can alert personnel of an intrusion with
voice alarms received on handheld radios. The data alarms can be
received by the Falcon Watch RF-5405 Intelligent Gateway, a
communications node that receives alarms from multiple sensors and
fuses the data into actionable reports for satellite-based relay to
command centers located anywhere in the world. About Harris
