Border security is an urgent concern for both Canada and the United States that involves various agencies on both sides of the border. Accipiter Radar's smart surveillance network is helping to secure a section of the border that runs through the Great Lakes at the Ports of Windsor and Detroit.
NIAGARA, ON, Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With border security an urgent concern for both Canada and the United States and involving numerous agencies at the federal, provincial/state, and local levels, Accipiter Radar's proven smart surveillance network is helping to secure a section of the 2,000 km water border that runs through the Great Lakes at the Ports of Windsor and Detroit, using an integrated network of state-of-the-art Accipiter® radars and Axis bi-spectral cameras installed on both sides of the border.
"This smart surveillance network simply needs to be expanded as was originally planned under Harper and Obama to cover the critical lakes and rivers through which the border runs, in order to quickly achieve effective border security across Detroit Sector, Buffalo Sector and Swanton Sector as urged by Trump and Homan", says Accipiter's President and CEO Tim Nohara.
Accipiter's network is designed to support secure information sharing and interoperability by automatically generating (using sophisticated signal and data processing, data mining and AI) and delivering the right surveillance-derived information to the right person at the right time. These capabilities are recognized and have been proven operationally by multiple agencies in Canada and the US to enable intelligence-led enforcement and the efficient use of frontline resources and response assets such as boats, vehicles, aircraft (e.g. Black Hawks), and drones resulting in force multiplication.
"We've designed our smart surveillance networks similar to cellular networks, and you roll them out the same way", says Nohara. "The expanded network can use different surveillance sensors (needed on both sides of the border, kind-of-like roaming) which plug-and-play together just like iPhone and Android smart phones. And the supported sensors include those that track small vessels, low-flying aircraft and drones (C-UAS) used in smuggling guns, drugs and other contraband across our borders, while also enabling the safe, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) use of drone as first responder (DFR) by law enforcement by detecting and avoiding (DAA) crewed aircraft in accordance with aviation regulations to share the airspace. Furthermore, each user can run their own apps (or use ours) and share information with each other just like sending e-mails or calendar invites to each other even though you are using different software or service providers on your smart phones."
Accipiter is ready to help Ottawa secure the border to reduce gun crime and make our streets safe again, and Ontario to make Fortress Am-Can a reality. Let's get it done as the time for talk is over.
"We are committed to assisting Canada and the United States in their goal to rapidly and affordably secure our Great Lakes border to protect North American lives and livelihoods on this critical, continental trade corridor, and I invite you to reach out to me directly", offers Nohara.
