Southwest Microwave’s INTREPID™ buried cable systems provide reliable perimeter protection in both cable-sensor and fiber-optic configurations. Engineered for accuracy and consistency, each system delivers precise ground-level intrusion detection across a wide range of site and environmental conditions.
MicroTrack™ II is the industry’s highest performing buried cable sensor, designed to fully adapt to its environment, setting new standards for performance by providing covert, terrain-following detection that is uniform along a site’s perimeter. It pinpoints the location of perimeter disturbances to within 3 m using a target’s spatial and time signatures to discriminate legitimate intrusions from harmless disturbances. The system’s high signal-to-noise ratio and precise target location produce superior probability of detection and a very low false/nuisance alarm rate (FAR/NAR).
With a coverage range of 400 m (1312 ft) per processor, the system consists of a MicroTrack™ II processor unit and two sensor cable pairs that may be buried along a facility’s perimeter in soil, asphalt or concrete. A detection field is created around the sensor cable pair, enabling the detection of intrusions. Detection zones are set in software to cost-effectively tailor zoning to suit a site’s unique requirements.
The INTREPID™ MicroFiber Series delivers a cost-effective, high-performance solution for real-time detection of perimeter breaches. Engineered to identify even subtle ground disturbances while minimizing nuisance alarms, it provides fast, reliable alerts operators can depend on. Its compact, all-in-one design streamlines installation, and flexible software controls allow performance to be precisely tuned to specific site requirements.
Powered by advanced distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology, the system continuously analyzes ground-level activity to enable accurate, real-time intrusion detection and location. Sophisticated processing algorithms help distinguish genuine threats from environmental effects, while seamless integration with external security platforms supports a more coordinated response. With remote monitoring capabilities and a scalable, distributed architecture, INTREPID™ MicroFiber delivers dependable covert perimeter protection that adapts to evolving security demands.
