Perimeter Surveillance
Border Control

Autonomous aerial systems for continuous surveillance of perimeters, borders and critical access points with automatic intrusion detection and large-area monitoring

Application

Protecting critical infrastructure

IMS Drones VTOL platforms provide continuous perimeter surveillance without the limitations of fixed camera systems. The ability to cover large areas, patrol dynamic routes and respond immediately to alarms makes them the ideal solution for airports, military bases, nuclear facilities and industrial complexes.

The AI video analysis system automatically detects intrusions, classifies threats and generates real-time alerts to security control centres, reducing response times and minimising false alarms.

Capabilities

Key features

Specialised application

Border Control

Border control requires surveillance of extensive linear zones with detection capability in any light and weather condition. IMS VTOL drones extend the reach of border patrols, reducing response times and optimising deployment of personnel.

Integration with border operations centres enables vectoring of response teams with precise GPS coordinates and documentation of each incident for subsequent analysis and investigation.

  • 01

    Continuous perimeter monitoring

    Autonomous patrols programmed over border lines with multi-kilometre coverage and formation-flight capability for coordinated surveillance

  • 02

    Intrusion detection

    Automatic identification of persons crossing borders via thermal vision and motion analysis with instant alerts to control centres

  • 03

    Long-range thermal imaging

    Optional integration of high-resolution FLIR sensors for night detection and low-visibility conditions, with person detection range of up to 18 km in total darkness depending on the sensor fitted

  • 04

    Patrol coordination

    Integration with border operations centres, vectoring of response teams and georeferenced incident documentation for investigation

¹ Linear coverage calculation: 180 min endurance × 80 km/h cruise speed = 240 km total range. Round-trip patrol from fixed base: 240/2 = 120 km. With 25% operational reserve (wind, manoeuvres, VTOL transitions): 90 km guaranteed under normal mission conditions.
