WB GROUP has signed a contract for the delivery of the AMSTA border and critical infrastructure protection system. The advanced Polish solution will go to a foreign user, who will be provided with security in a multi-kilometer area. The AMSTA system, which uses seismic sensors, can detect violations of the protected zone by people, cars, and low-flying helicopters from a long distance. The Warsaw-based MindMade company, which is part of WB GROUP, has signed a contract for the delivery of a perimeter system for protecting borders and critical infrastructure facilities. AMSTA consists of a network of intelligent, self-learning seismic and image sensors capable of detecting people and vehicles. The system can be integrated with unmanned platforms and other sensors. The foreign recipient intends to use the Polish solution to protect a multi-kilometer section of very difficult terrain. The first elements of the modular system with open architecture will be delivered by the end of 2024. AMSTA is characterized by distributed intelligence, in which each component works independently of the others.
“We are very pleased with the signed agreement. The contract confirms that the solutions developed by Polish engineers are characterized by advancement, high quality and market competitiveness. Field tests carried out in the recipient’s country confirmed the advantage of the AMSTA system. It provided perimeter protection in very difficult terrain,” said Paweł Poncyljusz, president of MindMade.
The AMSTA system is a solution based on artificial intelligence algorithms for the protection of facilities and areas crucial to the safe operating of the state, using neural networks implemented in seismic sensors and advanced image analysis algorithms from video sensors. The system can be supplemented with 2D and 3D radar equipment and a fleet of FlyEye and FT-5 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAV systems are capable of long-endurance airborne capability and are equipped with advanced object observation and reconnaissance sensors. The AMSTA system, is available in two variants: cable (fixed) and wireless (mobile). Each can be adapted to the specific needs of the user taking into account local field conditions. In the cable variant, all sensors in the system are connected to each other via a fibre-optic network and are powered from a fixed power source. The radio communication system allows the dispatcher to share images from fixed cameras or directly from the UAV monitoring the selected area with foot and vehicle patrols in the field. The system architecture is resilient to the effects of single failures.
All data from seismic sensors, radars and images from cameras and unmanned systems are transmitted directly to the management centre. A specialised application, running on a ruggedised laptop or tablet, consists of functional modules designed to configure the system, modify the settings of individual system components and analyse data received from seismic sensors, radar and cameras and unmanned systems. The application continuously receives data from the server (from all system components) and visualises it in the form of messages, warnings, videos, photos and other necessary data, and archives the current operation of the system. The AMSTA system in the wired version is based on digital fibre-optic solutions ensuring secure data transmission and a fixed 230V/24V cable power supply. In the wireless version, data transmission takes place in a two-tier network: the LCS and DCS.
