For Air Field Management and for Vessel Traffic Management.

JUNE, 2009 - HOD HASHARON ISRAEL

CONTROP SPIDER & CEDAR Systems were designed especially to deal with different Air Field Management and Vessel Traffic Management applications.  These applications include, but are not limited to: the management of air fields for surveillance and for security, coastal surveillance and security, safety of navigation, protection of harbors and marine environments, and many other security related missions. These systems are currently in daily operational service by the Israel Defense Forces: the Israeli Ground Forces, the Israeli Navy and the Israeli Air Force. They are in current operation providing airbase protection in a very large-scale surveillance and security of air fields program.  The systems also operate in a large coastal surveillance and protection program in Southeast Asia. Those systems were also selected to fully protect the Gioia Tauro seaport in Western Italy.    

 

The SPIDER & CEDAR systems main capabilities include long range surveillance and observation combined in one system, with automatic and panoramic detection of intruders and movements in the scanned area. The systems create a full panoramic view which gives the Operator amazing and unsurpassed orientation capability, in order to control virtually any event.  These systems provide a complete and constantly updated panoramic picture, while constantly scanning the entire view, tracking all moving objects, automatically alerting of all new movements and allowing immediate identification of all relevant targets.  These systems were successfully integrated in many different projects with coastal radar systems, AIS systems and other sensors, to provide the Operator with full coverage of the area of interest.

 

The SPIDER is a very long range stabilized panoramic automatic intruder detection and recognition system, ideal for integration on mobile platforms and high masts.  The CEDAR is a long range panoramic automatic intruder detection and recognition system, ideal for integration on fixed platforms, building, and tripods.  Both systems have been proven to be ideal for the surveillance and security of air bases, due to their high level of accuracy and low level of false alarms.  Both systems were also designed for coastal surveillance including small boat detection, swimmer detection and more.  They have sophisticated proprietary algorithms which overlook the movement of the waves in the water to detect even the smallest target.   These systems have also been applied in the protection of other important infrastructure facilities, including the surveillance and protection of water reservoirs, power stations and energy power facilities, as well as armed forces bases and the like.
