Border Protection Solutions
Securing national borders from illegal activities such as smuggling, human trafficking, and terrorism is crucial for both national security and economic stability. Protecting vast and often remote areas demands reliable, scalable surveillance systems that provide early detection of threats while facilitating legal trade and travel.
IEC Infrared Systems offers advanced border protection solutions designed to address these challenges. Our surveillance systems serve as a vital force multiplier for border patrol teams, offering enhanced situational awareness and rapid response capabilities.

Tailored Surveillance for Every Terrain
Every border is unique, and each requires specific detection solutions to overcome challenges such as difficult terrain, weather conditions, and long distances. IEC’s modular surveillance platform provides flexibility and adaptability:
- Flexible Configurations: We tailor systems to meet the specific needs of each location. Our sensors, including thermal and optical cameras, can be easily swapped to optimize detection in varying conditions.
- Third-Party Integration: IEC systems seamlessly integrate with third-party sensors and effectors, offering a comprehensive Common Operating Picture (COP) for enhanced decision-making and faster response times.
Field swapping shorter-range with longer-range visual and thermal cameras takes less than a minute. EO/IR surveillance systems can be upgraded in multiple ways: the counter-drone capabilities of IEC’s Lycan system, the ground radar detection of IEC’s Raptor system, the intruder deterrent capabilities of IEC’s Banshee system, slew-to-cue from underground vibration sensors, and more.

Wide-Area Situational Awareness
IEC’s border protection solutions enable wide-area situational awareness through networked systems. One operator can efficiently monitor and manage multiple sensors across large sectors. This approach reduces operator fatigue and increases efficiency.
- Automated Alerts: Our systems are designed to send programmable alarms based on object movement, ensuring operators are notified instantly of potential threats.
- Scalable Systems: Whether monitoring a small border area or thousands of miles, IEC systems are designed to scale according to operational needs.
