All dataand information of the remotelycontrolled sensors are channeledto remote node for high-speedsignal processing and fusionbefore transmitting the targetinformation to remote operators.This UGS system can be deployedfor situational awareness monitoring,including Chemical, Biological,Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN)early warning.Urban UGS systems consist oflow cost network-enabled sensorssystem deployed remotely forsituation awareness monitoring,reporting and force protectionin urban terrain environments.These sensors can be easilydeployed both inside and outsidebuild-up structures and buildings.The Urban UGS includes variousadvanced motion detection andranging sensors which are capableof detecting and locating hiddenpersonnel behind walls, doorsand other visible obstructions.U-UGS can be employed in urbancombat operations for monitoringurban choke points such as corridors,stairwells, sewers, tunnelsand other man-made constructions.For more information, please contactJoseph Gwee at (65) 6403 2030 oremail: gweejoseph@stelop.comUGS Application for Perimeter Surveillance18 electronics review
