Land and Water Detection

Dual‑Surface Coverage: The system is capable of monitoring both land terrain (vehicles, people, ground intrusion) and adjacent water surfaces (boats, swimmers, small vessels) with integrated detection logic. For example, Navtech offers a solution described as detecting “people, vehicles, swimmers and vessels” on land and water.

360° Radar or Wide‑Area Sensor: Often uses a radar sensor (e.g., 360° scanning) or equivalent wide‑area sensor to provide situational awareness across both types of terrain in all weather/light conditions.

Customisable Virtual Zones: The system allows the creation of different detection/alert zones, where the parameters differ for land vs water—for instance, slower speeds or smaller RCS for swimmers, higher thresholds for vehicles.

All‑Weather & Day/Night Capability: Critical for mixed land/water protection, the system must work through fog, rain, darkness and other challenging conditions. Navtech’s solution emphasises “real‑time detection in all weather and light conditions”.

Integration with Tracking & Classification Systems: A full solution will include target classification (person/vehicle/swimmer/vessel), track management, and system integration (e.g., CCTV cueing, AIS for vessels). The description mentions “integrating with Automatic Identification Systems (AIS)” to mark authorised vessels.

Scalability & Networked Sensors: For large or complex sites (with mixed land/water perimeters), the system supports networked sensors or multiple units linked together to cover extended boundaries or segmented zones.
