How does AdvanceGuard’s friend or foe solution work?

GPS trackers added to authorised vehicles and personnel are integrated to AdvanceGuard allowing the system to accurately pinpoint their location and marking them as friends. Whenever the radar detects movement, it provides real-time location to the operators, who can quickly and easily see whether a target has been tagged as ‘friend’ or ‘foe’.
AdvanceGuard’s intuitive, user-friendly interface makes friend or foe even more effective because the target categories are easy to see. 'Friends' are shown clearly in green, and do not trigger an alarm when they are undertaking authorised activity. When unauthorised presence or activity is identified, the target is shown in red, an alarm is raised, and operators can act swiftly with precise, real-time location tracking and data.
AdvanceGuard with friend or foe can track intruders whether they are on foot or in vehicles, and can follow an unlimited number of targets simultaneously.
