Border Security

Missions
Globalisation is accompanied by intensified cross-border flows of persons and goods.
Although international exchange is a vital economic necessity, a lack of sufficient control can be a deadly threat to domestic security. Criminal and terrorist activities do not stop at national borders.
Therefore, comprehensive border surveillance and control – balancing economic and security requirements – are key components of a country’s global protection.
Main missions reside in:
-
at checkpoints (roads, railways, ports and airports): control of documents and movement of persons and materials, into and out of a country
-
surveillance of land borders for fighting terrorism, illegal migration and crime.
Solutions
EADS’ solutions and services for border security encompass electronically controlled checkpoints at land ports of entry, as well as airports and harbours.
In addition, EADS provides solutions for the surveillance of unattended borders, for example signal, image and communications intelligence systems as well as radars and electro-optical cameras.
Such equipment can be integrated in fixed installations and EADS aeroplanes, helicopters, UAVs or other platforms.
This helps to effectively counter illegal immigration and smuggling, while at the same time facilitating lawful travel and trade by automated control systems.
