Shannon Airport, key hub for military and civilian aircraft and frequent target for protestors, needed a reliable intruder detection and tracking solution that would scale with the site and provide full situational awareness.
The challenge
Shannon Airport in County Clare, Ireland, is the third-busiest airport in the Republic and an important destination and transit point for both passenger and military aircraft. As well as an airport and associated buildings, the site also contains engineering works and is therefore both busy and complex.
A mixture of tall trees and farmland surrounds Shannon. Wildlife activity can trigger nuisance alarms in conventional surveillance systems. Shannon Airport has a particular need for perimeter security because its use by the US military has led to incursions and protests, and subsequent publicity.
