With EU rules stipulating improved perimeter security measures, many European airports are currently facing the issue of implementing effective, affordable solutions within a very short time-frame. Perimeter security at Ostrava Airport had previously been a 12km fence, secured through manned patrols and CCTV images. These measures were deemed outdated and ineffective, a more modern solution was required to secure the site.
About the project
After a remote demonstration of AdvanceGuard, Ostrava Airport installed 4 of Navtech’s AdvanceGuard radar sensors to provide the best site-coverage and wide-area detection. AdvanceGuard provided an unparalleled value per square metre with an extremely low false alarm rate. The radars were integrated with thermal cameras allowing easy identification of threats quickly and precisely.
