Elbit Systems Offers an Arsenal of
Advantages to Counter Homeland
Security Threats
Elbit Systems advanced concepts and proven technologies have
answered evolving security demands for decades and continue to
prove their excellence in systems that detect, connect and protect
from within or outside borders
All over the world, municipal, state and federal governments are coming to terms with
challenges that are often of mega proportions - from crime waves and gang wars, to large
terror attacks, to hurricanes and earthquakes, to securing large public activities such as
sports events and concerts.
The basic need for creating and maintaining community safety – making cities a safe
place in which to live, work and visit – is becoming a major priority worldwide.
Traditional police and security methods often no longer suffice. Drawing on our
extensive experience in military C4I, border protection, unmanned vehicles and the full
range of electro-optic and other sensors, we offer highly modular and scalable solutions
for civilian, public order and disaster resolution.
These solutions are based on components which are already tested and proven in the
military and various arenas and optimized for homeland security applications.
Information is the Key
Securing a country cannot be achieved by physical infrastructures alone. It also requires
information support systems that fuse vast amounts of raw data into valuable information
that is then shared across government and security agencies. The war on global terrorism,
money laundering, organized crime, illegal immigration and smuggling, all require the
same cross-agency collaboration of information and demand the capability to monitor and
report these activities efficiently and effectively.
SafeCity - Integrated crime reduction, terror detection and disaster
recovery solutions combine a fully integrated C4I system with advanced
electro-optics surveillance UAS, communication solutions and other
systems to provide citywide event detection and operations coordination,
management and control to municipal security forces.
SafeCity, First Responders and CMS Solutions
Elbit Systems’ SafeCity concept is a full technological solution for reducing crime and
terror risks in urban areas by facilitating faster detection and situational awareness.
Providing highly advanced tools for emergency response commanders and managers,
SafeCity enables them to achieve a significant reduction in the time needed to react to
and successfully handle crime, terror and emergency scenarios. The solution consists of
the latest technologies and operational concepts, using various sensing elements,
communications capabilities and a fully integrated Command and Control system.
The system addresses both fixed C2 centers at different levels and mobile forces on the
scene. SafeCity provides a complete situational awareness picture for decision makers
and public safety officers, helping them make the best possible decisions and generate
effective results.
Elbit Systems’ homeland security (HLS) simulation solutions realistically simulate
complex emergency scenarios where multiple security and rescue teams must seamlessly
coordinate their life-saving operations, in both virtual arenas
and live training environments. The systems simulate a variety of interactive security
incidents including terror attacks, accidents, natural disasters, dispersion of hazardous
materials, attacks on strategic infrastructure, security for large scale sporting events and
maintenance of public order.
Key Features:
• Exercise flexibility- in both scale and duration
• Adjustable simulator fidelity- including very large training areas and highly detailed
incidents
• Detailed modeling of hazards, first-responders and emergency equipment
• On-site generation of numerous scenarios

trafficking and illegal trade.
Blue Borders: An Integrated Coastal Surveillance System provides turnkey surveillance
systems for maritime monitoring and detection, including all infrastructure,
communication, surveillance capabilities (integration of EO sensor and maritime radars)
and management by C4I software. The system facilitates maritime traffic monitoring;
prevention of smuggling, illegal shipments, customs violations and illegal immigration;
controlling fishing activities and coordination of search and rescue operations.
Border Control Management: Our system enables fast and efficient border control, in
coordination with national security and crime prevention efforts. It is fully operational
and suitable for passengers, vehicles and cargo.
Comprehensive Cyber Defense Solutions
A comprehensive national grade cyber defense solution designed to protect military and
civilian critical infrastructure assets, leveraging extensive experience with national grade
defense solutions worldwide, Elbit Systems CyberShield NCDS™ provides governments
and military organizations with a complete cyber defense system. The solution provides
classification and mapping of critical national assets, organizations and networks as well
as an operations center for real-time monitoring and management of national cyber
events.
Additional components of the solution include intelligence gathering, event analysis,
vulnerability alerts, threat analysis, enforcement, training, simulation and technologybased hardening.
Infrastructure Security, Perimeter Security and Intrusion Detection Solutions
Utilizing electronic alarm fences and virtual fences, combined with electro-optical
pointing, verification and tracking, our systems deter and detect any attempt by intruders
to climb, cut, destroy, distort or tamper with the security fences. These systems are
utilized to protect sensitive infrastructure facilities such as pipelines, oil and gas
installations, airports, ports and others.
Train and Rail Track Security – We have deployed a safety system designed to
monitor and automatically detect day and night threats on the rail tracks using advanced
video motion detection applications that meet harsh safety regulations and prevent trainautomobile accidents at unmanned level crossings.

Oil and Gas Pipeline Protection – The protection of pipelines against sabotage, illegal
tapping and terrorist action is a high priority all over the world. I-PASS is an innovative
technology that protects pipelines using a unique fiber-optic sensor which detects seismic
and other intrusive signals along the cable and alerts the operator. The sensor cable is
buried along the pipeline and detects suspicious activity close to the pipeline, giving the
authorities time to identify the activity and respond.The use of fiber optic technology
enables deployment over great distances, making it well suited for pipeline security.
Airport and Seaport Security – We provide a variety of outdoor and indoor security
solutions and measures to secure ports, airports and related facilities from undesired
intrusions. They enable securing port operations while complying with the complex body
of regulations that govern airport and aviation security – including ICAO, ECAC, IATA,
ACI and local requirements.
