1.2. USAFA has a focused interest in exploring ways to virtually monitor its 15+ mile perimeter with

autonomous measures that can notify security forces and provide situational awareness as the system tracks ground targets. The system will be used in various areas around the USAFA perimeter and must be operational 24/7, day and night, in all weather conditions. Due to a lack of power distribution, the solution must be self-sufficient, utilizing wireless communication and solar or battery power.
1.2.1. Mandatory requirements. The system must meet the following minimum requirements:

1.2.1.1. System Performance

• Provide 24/7 security monitoring with no sensor “dead zones” across the operational area.
• Achieve a minimum detection range of 3 kilometers.
• Track multiple targets simultaneously within the same Area of Responsibility (AOR). • Differentiate between object types, including persons, animals, flocks of birds, and vehicles.
• Filter and annunciate alarms for user-defined threats. • Operate with minimal to zero latency between threat detection, camera cueing, and operator notification.

1.2.1.2. Hardware and Physical Installation

• A combination of 360-degree and single-direction ground-based radar systems. • Point, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) cameras that can be automatically cued by the radar to track targets, with target location displayed on a GIS map.
• Seamless communication and integration between radar and camera systems. • Long and short-range visibility in both day and night conditions.
