DESCRIPTION
Force Protection Systems consist of the following components:
• Automated Installation Entry (AIE): AIE is a software and
hardware system that provides enhanced security through credential
verification and authentication, personnel vetting and establishing
permissions for Army installation access.
• Battlefield Anti-Intrusion System (BAIS): BAIS is a compact,
modular, sensor-based warning system that can be used as a
tactical stand-alone system for small units. It delivers early warning
and situational awareness information based on proven, fielded,
seismic and acoustic sensors and modified commercial off-the-shelf
components; and classifies detections as personnel, vehicle, wheeled
or tracked intrusions. BAIS provides a sizable increase in sensor
density and depth to allow increased situational awareness.
• The Lighting Kit, Motion Detector (LKMD): LKMD is a simple,
compact, modular, sensor-based early warning system that provides
programmable responses of illumination and sound.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
AIE improves guard force efficiency by automating access control
processes for personnel entering an installation and by increasing accuracy
of credential vetting. BAIS and LKMD provide early detection and
warning by enhancing force effectiveness as well as increasing situational
awareness for small tactical units and bases.
SPECIFICATIONS
• AIE:
››
System provides continuous vetting of credentials against federal
data and interoperates with a defense enterprise capability to
enable data sharing among Army installations, the Joint services
and other agencies
››
Can immediately adapt to threat condition changes and employ
applicable restrictive entrance criteria
››
Scalable architecture accommodates small, medium and large sites
››
Autonomously reads and verifies personnel credentials
››
Interfaces electronically with the Defense Enrollment Eligibility
Reporting System
• BAIS:
››
Consists of a hand-held monitor and three seismic/acoustic sensors
››
Provides coverage across a platoon’s defensive front (450 meters)
• LKMD:
››
Modular, tactical ground sensor-based early warning system
››
Enhances unit awareness and force effectiveness during all
types of operations and environments, including small-scale
contingencies and Military Operations in Urban Terrain as well as
high-intensity combat
