Abstract
There are many separated infrastructural objects within a harbor area that may be considered “critical”, such as gas and oil terminals or anchored naval vessels. Those objects require special protection, including security systems capable of monitoring both surface and underwater areas, because an intrusion into the protected area may be attempted using small surface vehicles (boats, kayaks, rafts, floating devices with weapons and explosives) as well as underwater ones (manned or unmanned submarines, scuba divers). The paper presents the concept of a multisensor security system for harbor protection capable of complex monitoring of selected critical objects within the protected area. The proposed system consists of a command centre and several different sensors deployed in key areas providing effective protection from land and sea, with special attention focused on monitoring of the underwater zone. The initial project of such systems is presented, its configuration and initial tests of selected components. The protection of surface area is based on medium-range radar and LLTV and infrared cameras. Underwater zone is monitored by a sonar and acoustic and magnetic barriers combined into an integrated monitoring system. Theoretical analyses concerning the detection of fast small surface objects (such as RIB boats) by a camera system and real test results in various weather conditions are also presented.
