SAN DIEGO, November 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Elbit Systems Ltd., will present their capabilities for border
security solutions at the IDGA Border Management Conference and
Technology Expo on November 7-9,
2011, at the Town & Country Resort and Spa, San Diego, California.
Each day the United States and
Border Patrol agents fulfill critical missions in environments of
vast and varying terrains along the US border. Seeking to support
the agent's mission with proven systems, Elbit Systems of America
offers unmanned technologies for air, water, and land-allowing
agents to identify any threat, in any terrain, at any time.
Keith Traster, Executive Director,
Strategic Marketing of Elbit Systems of America, a featured
presenter on Conference Day 2, will cover solutions such as the
Skylark I LE®, Stingray Mk II, Guardium, SAND and Pearls of Wisdom.
In his presentation, titled "Unmanned Border Security Solutions,"
Traster will present these technologies in the context of an
integrated border security solution that allows agents a faster,

for detecting, tracking, identifying, and classifying items of
interest.
