The user instead needs to consider a layered approach, with the deployment of several different fully-connected sensor types to provide as full a picture as possible of the locale under surveillance.
Unattended ground sensors can fill many roles and even, in certain cases, replace the anti-personnel mine as a warning device. However, as said in our introduction, there is no panacea, and a seismic sensor designed to detect the arrival of a tank at long range will not be suitable to pick the approach of a man on foot. For customers requiring electro-optical and infrared ground sensors, Northrop Grumman provides the Scorpion Unattended Target Rec...See the full content of this document
