Abstract
This paper describes a new system specifically designed for Defence & Security applications combining Non-Line-Of-Sight radar technology and camera technology. After a description of the new challenges caused by limited regional conflicts and terrorism, an innovative ground-based solution built with an UHF radar, called Ground-Alerter-One, and an IR camera is presented. Details on the frequency band choice are given. The design principles are explained and some results of operational trials conducted during the last few months are presented.
