TruePosition Border Security Solution
Every day, agencies are charged with responding to growing threats with limited resources:
TruePosition® LOCINT™ can significantly expand current or future tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) to fortify and extend border protection efforts. As a key component of a layered defense system, TruePosition LOCINT combines powerful mobile phone location technologies with sophisticated data mining to empower border authorities to:
Geofences significantly increase the efficiency of border patrols beyond cameras, night vision, and radar. TruePosition LOCINT creates “geofences” — virtual electronic fences that protect an area of interest or concern. After drawing an electronic perimeter on a map (even beyond physical fences or visual surveillance), any mobile phone that crosses that barrier triggers a real-time alert. This significantly extends the reach of border security beyond current fence and video surveillance tactics, techniques, and procedures such as cameras, night vision, and radar. In the event of a large border incident, such as a massive breach or a terrorist attack, border security officials can actively track the mobile phones of the fleeing perpetrators, and quickly and efficiently deploy security teams — all in real time. Improve border security by reducing illegal traffic. Geofences can also reduce illegal traffic by monitoring specific mobile phones of interest. If the mobile phone of a known suspect (a known terrorist, drug trafficker, smuggler, or other criminal) crosses the border, officials receive immediate alert messages, detecting when an illegal alien, criminal, or terrorist has entered the country. Enhance the support and enforcement of immigration policies. TruePosition LOCINT can also be used to enforce immigration policies. For example, customs officers can flag an individual entering the country under a particular visa, and then program the system to trigger an alert if the mobile phone does not cross back over the border within the specified time of the visa. On a typical day, more than 1.1 million passengers and pedestrians, including over 630,000 aliens, over 235,000 air passengers, over 333,000 privately owned vehicles, and over 79,000 shipments of goods are processed at U.S. borders. Each presents a potential risk to national security. To protect America from harm, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) agency must detect and remove the people and goods that pose a threat from the legitimate annual flow of over 400 million people, 20 million cargo containers, and 130 million conveyances. |
In today’s uncertain world, government agencies face increasingly complex challenges in the battle to monitor and secure their borders. Illegal immigration and threats of terrorist acts are on the rise, and those who perpetrate these acts constantly find new ways to use wireless technology to plan and execute illegal border crossings and other types of illegal trafficking.
