UTILITY SECURITY

Early warning versus perimeter threats—ground, water, & air.

GroundAware® 2D and 3D digital radar solutions enable utilities to cover more critical areas for less total cost.

MORE COVERAGE. EARLIER AWARENESS.

Do more for less—without compromising perimeter security.

Budgets are tighter than ever as physical threats emerge and evolve for utility companies. As the long-range sensor used for critical infrastructure situational awareness, O.W.L.’s GroundAware® 2D and 3D digital radars help electric, water, and natural gas utilities—as well as energy companies—detect, understand, and respond to threats sooner.

AWARENESS THAT ACTS

Long-range protection built around the threat.

01

Receive early warning about threats in real time

Detect activity on the ground, across water surfaces, and in the air—giving operators more time to take deterrent and responsive action before a threat becomes a real problem.

02

Make other security systems more valuable

O.W.L. radar directs cameras, activates security alarms and lighting, and sends alarms to video and access management systems in real time, in all weather and lighting conditions.

03

Reduce total perimeter security costs

Cover more area with fewer sensors and far less supporting infrastructure. On average, competing radars require four or more units to cover the area one O.W.L. GA1360LH radar can cover.

04

Address compliance requirements

Support physical security planning, risk and resilience assessment, emergency response, and outer-perimeter awareness requirements.

INTEGRATED SECURITY

Turn detection into an immediate, coordinated response.

GroundAware works with cameras, video management, access control, alarms, lighting, and other site-security systems. When a target meets configured criteria, the system can alert operators, cue and slew cameras, and provide actionable target information in real time.
