1.1. System Goal
The HDS goal is to detect and automatically alert entering and
outgoing moving persons and vehicles within defined preset
boundaries. As it is a very complicated process, customer should
have an operational watch-keeping concept, in which the HDS
will be one element in the integrated Sensors, Monitors,
Command Communication and Control system.

2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The system is based on ELTA’s vast experience in
high-resolution technology and innovative radars.
The system automatically detects moving objects and
persons within the covered area.
It allows segregation of persons maneuvering in
permitted zones and those who try to intrude
unauthorized areas.
The system allows continuous monitoring and
detection in all weather conditions.
Programmable automatic alerts according the areas
status. (Restricted zones according to time
frames,
buffer zones, etc’)
Applications
• Installations’ Security
Securing the inside and the outside boundaries such as:
power plants, factories, army bases, air and sea- ports,
jails, embassies and other governmental facilities etc’
• Traffic Control
Tracks authorized and non permitted personnel and
vehicles within selected areas
• Border protecting
Enhancing the border guard capability by monitoring
and detecting maneuvers away from the border
line/fence, thus helping to prevent any intrusion even
before the arrival of the potential trespasser to the border
line/fence.
Singular and Neted Configurations
The system provides a very accurate and reliable tactical
situation of selected areas together with exceptionally
low fault alarms rate and a very low operator's workload
all year long in all weather condition.
HDS can be built up gradually by simply adding unites to
the network of the system.

HDS - DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
3.1. Radar Overview
The HDS is a sensor that detects moving human being, vehicles
and other objects that might move in the physical and electronic
boundaries as defined in this specification. The radar is
comprised of a transceiver LRU connected to an antennae array
module that were design to be mounted on top of a mast,
buildings or any other static component of infrastructure
providing undisturbed line of sight in the sector of interest. The
installation asset, which is an external item, may be chosen by

the users to conform to their needs. The HDS detects and
classifies moving objects in real time within a defined false
alarm rate (Detection and false alarm rate are shown in
paragraph 2.3). The location and track of these targets may be
then automatically processed, monitored and displayed as an
alert in real time to attract the operators’ attention to a
immediate and real hazard. The radar has a modular hardware
and software structure and is noted by its high reliability and
fully digital solid-state design.
An IBM PC compatible with a color display, enabling the
automatic detection operation, may perform the control and
display functions of the HDS.
As an option, the radar can send the detection to a central
computer via RS-422 or RS-232.
A Low Light TV camera or other visual sensors may be
controlled for automatic locking and tracking upon alert of
detection. The slaving of the visual sensor is done via the IBM
PC compatible and RS-422 line.

3.4. Human Detection System - HDS
The HDS is based on an Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) waveform and
processing logic, enabling high resolution imaging of moving objects, in the
area of interest. Advanced state-of-the-art digital processing and software
algorithms are used to perform real time detection of moving objects,
measurements, analysis and recognition at a low false alarm level - thus
enabling reliable, automatically alerted, real time watch keeping operation.
The HDS consists of an Antenna array, a Transceiver and connecting cables.
It also may include in an integrated configuration a visualization system to
support identification and recognition.
