امنیت مرزها border security

SRC, Inc. is expanding its commitment to providing border security and force protection solutions to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions. The evolving conflicts in these areas have created a need for increased border, force and critical infrastructure protection measures to ensure the safety of soldiers and civilians alike.

As explained in the US Army’s 2016 posture statement on the CENTCOM area of responsibility, “The convergence of interests, namely the need to counter the threat posed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and other violent extremist organizations, has afforded a unique opportunity to strengthen ties among nations while contributing to improving stability and security throughout the region. We should do all that we can to support and enable their continued collaboration as we work to enhance our collective capabilities.”

SRC has already begun to play a vital role in bolstering the border security and force protection capabilities of MENA countries by supplying multiple surveillance systems to the region. SRC’s lightweight counter-mortar radar (LCMR) system is currently providing soldiers with 360 degree early warning and counterfire target acquisition capabilities. The SR Hawk™ ground surveillance radar is also being used for persistent surveillance of territorial borders and critical infrastructure perimeters.

Bolstering SRC’s commitment to delivering best-in-class capabilities to the MENA region, the company has hired Asif Moosa as a dedicated MENA account manager. In this newly created role, Moosa will provide business development and strategic support as SRC expands operations in these areas. Moosa is an accomplished business executive with more than 30 years of experience in aerospace and defense and has conducted business in more than 50 countries. As the MENA account manager, he will work closely with SRC’s international business team to identify and capitalize on key growth areas for SRC, while delivering expertise and guidance to potential MENA partners.

“We are very pleased to have a subject matter expert like Asif join our team,” said Paul Tremont, president and CEO of SRC. “He brings a great depth of knowledge about the business landscape in the MENA region that will be key to SRC’s continued international growth.”

To better serve the needs of their partners in the MENA region, SRC has also developed a new full Arabic language website, accessible by visiting www.srcinc.com/ar.

SRC currently offers a portfolio of defense systems that are available to the MENA region: The Aklus Shield^® C-Model biological threat monitoring system helps detect and alert people to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats; the SR Hawkground surveillance radar, with more than 250 units fielded around the world; and the LCMR counterfire radar, a U.S. military program of record, with almost 1000 units delivered to protect forces from rocket, artillery and mortar attack. These systems will be displayed at IDEX 2017 at booth 03-A04 located within the AUSA Pavilion.

Smartphone doubles as remote control for cars

Hitachi Automotive Systems and infotainment system vendor are together developing a remotely-controlled parking system for vehicles. The system will support multiple parallel and perpendicular parking styles, controlled by a smartphone app. During the parking process, the driver stays outside the car.

The virtual remote control uses a WiFi link between the smartphone and a system installed in the vehicle. The system in the car includes Clarion’s SurroundEye camera which is connected to an ECU and a brake control unit from Hitachi Automotive Systems. In contrast to available systems, Clarion is utilizing video cameras and ultrasound sensors for better performance, the company said.

Thanks to this constellation, the driver sees live images of the vehicle’s surroundings on its smartphone. Thus, he can visualize the vehicle’s trajectory which in turn enables him to safely operate the car, taking potential obstacles into account. The user interface contains a large variety of parallel and perpendicular parking space geometries which is particularly useful if space is limited – for instance in garages.

The driver can stop the vehicle at any time with immediate effect, for instance if he identifies an obstacle. For better safety, the car stops automatically if its sensors detect a pedestrian or a similar obstacle. The system can also be operated from inside the car, using the built-in navigation touch screen.

The system is currently available for Android smartphones. However, the companies have the intention to roll out versions for all major operating systems.

Air Force to defend B-52 with laser weapons

Air Force scientists are working to arm the B-52 with defensive laser weapons able to incinerate attacking air-to-air or air-to-ground missile attack.

Offensive and defensive laser weapons for Air Force fighter jets and large cargo aircraft have been in development for several years now. However, the Air Force Research Lab has recently embarked upon a special five-year effort, called the SHIELD program, aimed at creating sufficient on-board power, optics and high-energy lasers to defend large platforms such as a B-52 bomber.
“You can take out the target if you put the laser on the attacking weapon for a long enough period of time,” said Air Force Chief Scientist Greg Zacharias.
Using an externally-mounted pod or similar device with sufficient transportable electrical power, the AFRL is already working on experimental demonstrator weapons able to bolt-on to an aircraft, Zacharias added.
Given that an external pod would add shapes to the fuselage of an aircraft likely to be vulnerable to enemy air defense radar systems, the bolt-on defensive laser would not be expected to work on a stealthy platform, he explained.
However, a heavily armed B-52, as a large 1960s-era target, would need to defend itself in the air, and so a new technology would be useful to the Air Force, as the service is now immersed in a series of high-tech upgrades for the B-52 designed to allow it to serve for decades to come. 
Lasers use intense heat and light energy to incinerate targets without causing a large explosion, and they operate at very high speeds, giving them a near instantaneous ability to destroy fast-moving targets and defend against incoming enemy attacks, senior Air Force leaders explained.

Air Force tests massive B-2 sensor upgrade

• FEB 06, 2017

The Air Force is now testing new, high-tech sensors, software, electronics and other enemy radar-evading upgrades for its B-2 stealth bombers that are designed to preserve its stealth advantages and allow the aircraft to operate more effectively against increasingly capable modern air defenses.

The massive upgrade, designed to improve what’s called the bomber’s Defensive Management System, is described by Air Force developers as “the most extensive modification effort that the B-2 has attempted.”

The Defensive Management System is a technology designed to help the B-2 recognize and elude enemy air defenses, by using various antennas, receivers and display processors to detect signals or “signatures” emitting from ground-based anti-aircraft weapons, Air Force Spokesman Capt. Michael Hertzog said in a written statement.

The modernized system, called a B-2 DMS-M unit, consists of a replacement of legacy DMS subsystems so that the aircraft can be effective against the newest and most lethal enemy air defenses.

“This system picks up where mission planning ends by integrating a suite of antennas, receivers, and displays that provide real-time situational awareness to the aircrew.  The DMS-Modernization program addresses shortcomings within the current DMS system,” Hertzog added.

Upgrades consist of improved antennas with advanced digital electronic support measures, or ESMs along with software components designed to integrate new technologies with existing B-2 avionics, according to an Operational Test & Evaluation report from the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
