The aerial platform is
secured to the base unit
via a cable which serves as
a power supply and data
link. A silenced generator
powers the system
enabling continuous 24/7
operation. The machine
itself is relatively quiet
and passive; emitting
no electronic signals. It
should be emphasized
again that as the
HoverMast is tethered, it
is not bound by any of the
air control regulations that
bind standard unmanned
vehicles.
The system can host a
wide range of payloads.
It can host any payload
weighing up to 6 kg,
including CCD/IR cameras,
radars, laser designators,

relays, cellular antennas,
and hyperspectral
sensors. Additionally, it
can receive COMINT and
ELINT. With the ability
to operate on land and
at sea, even while the
vehicle is in motion, the
HoverMast-100 enables
target detection, location,
and identification as well
as autonomous tracking.
Target coordinates
and video images
are transmitted within
seconds and without the
need of an experienced
operator via its wide
band communication link,
relaying critical data to
selected recipients in real
time.
The HoverMast is already
in operation with the Israeli
Defense Force.

Police in Chennai have implemented
‘Face Recognition’ in a Crowd
system
The Police in Chennai have
positioned themselves
at the forefront of Smart
City Surveillance having
implemented iOmniscient’s
Face Recognition in a
Crowd system in a part of
this city, the sixth largest in
India.
The system installed in the
T. Nagar Market enables
the police to recognize
people of interest outdoors
in a totally uncontrolled
environment and to track
them as they show up on
different cameras.

who implemented the
system said, “The main
requirement from the
electronic surveillance
used for public safety
was that it must function
in a difficult outdoor
environment. We faced
a big problem with this.
The many technologies
we tried from Russia, USA
and Europe worked well
when used in a controlled
setting indoors, but in the
practical crowded scene
of an Indian marketplace,
nothing worked. Then we
implemented iOmniscient’s
system.”
Defendec releases HD Camera for situational awareness platform Smartdec
Defendec have released a
new high capability camera
module for situational
awareness platform
Smartdec at Eurosatory
2014, bringing significant
improvements to its system
for users in the field.
Smartdec, the defense
and security company’s
flagship product, uses a
network of small wireless
cameras linked to motion
sensors that send visual
confirmation to end users
in a matter of seconds.
The system upgrades
provide a HD picture
with a HDR capability,
increase the speed of
image transmission and
alarm arrival time and
increase the distance of
the detectors from the
main bridge enhancing
the system’s overall
effectiveness.
The Smartdec system
consists of a series of small,
lightweight, and easily
camouflaged detectors
that are equipped with a
camera and long-lasting
batteries, a communication
base unit, and the control
center. When movement is
sensed, the detector sends
a visual confirmation to the
control center. There the
image can be analyzed,
and border patrols can
determine whether or not
to send patrols to inspect
the area.
Smartdec can be up and
running in just two minutes
without any additional
training needed. The
cameras are designed to
be deployed in remote
and rugged terrain where
it is difficult to conduct foot
patrols. The cameras are
programmed to
only recognize
human
and vehicle
infiltrations.
False alarms
for wild animals
have been
eliminated.
This feature
prevents from
wasting time on
nuisance calls. The system
can be operational for
years with only one battery
charge cycle making it
almost maintenance free.
Smartdec’s equipment
is completely wireless so
additional infrastructure
investments are
unnecessary.
The detectors are
connected to the GSM
phone network, which
means that most major
towns and cities are
covered. In countries where
GSM coverage is spotty, a
local radio network bridge
can be set up to connect
the cameras to the control
center.
“Smartdec offers border
guard and critical
infrastructure
companies
struggling
with limited
personnel
and budget
resources
an effective
situational
awareness
platform
solution to put an end
to vandalism, human
trafficking, narcotics
smuggling, and other
nefarious activities,” said
Jaanus Tamm, CEO of
Defendec Ltd. “Smartdec
is truly a unique product
that is operational around
the world, and it is
improving remote areas
security every day.”
Since the initial rollout
of the system in 2010,
Smartdec has been
securing borders along
the European Union’s
eastern front, Asia and the
Caribbean. The system has
been proven to help stop
international smuggling,
illegal trafficking, and
acts of sabotage making
it the technology of
choice among border
guards around the
world. Smartdec is also
operational in the critical
infrastructure sector
making the protection
of assets in remote areas
much easier.
Morpho Upgrades Dutch ID
Documents for Greater Security
Working closely with
the Dutch government,
Morpho (Safran)
leveraged its experience
and expertise to develop
highly secure biometric
travel documents and
identity cards integrating
cutting-edge technology.
With new, innovative
security features and
a validity of 10 years,
the latest generation
identification documents
will provide greater
protection against
document fraud.
The ID card and travel
document datapage
now feature Morpho’s
patented Stereo Laser
Image (SLI® technology,
a three-dimensional
image reproducing
the document holder’s
portrait). Designed to
check the authenticity
of the primary image,
this innovative security
feature helps prevent
photo falsification. For
additional security, a laser
perforated number (TLN
- Tilted Laser Number),
visible when tilted against
the light, will be located
on the primary image of
each document.
