Elbit’s Intelligent Autonomous Surveillance Towers Ensure Safety
Enhancing situational awareness, autonomy, automation and increasing safety – these characteristics are key for those dedicated to protecting countries. Elbit Systems of America meets these requirements by delivering two variants of intelligent and autonomous trailer-mounted surveillance tower systems, which aims to reduce operator workload and increase situational awareness and safety.
In late 2019, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) selected the company’s Intelligent Trailer Mounted Surveillance Tower solution for use along the U.S. southern border. Furthermore, in April this year, the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) selected Elbit Systems of America’s Autonomous Relocatable Surveillance Tower system for future deployment by U.S. Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.
Long-range Awareness
Intelligent Relocatable Long-Range Surveillance Tower, the trailer-mounted system selected by the CBP, is a relocatable configuration designed to quickly deploy surveillance capability to examine border areas of increased activity or with land use and environmental concerns.
The 80-foot tower system provides long-range situational awareness, using integrated, advanced surveillance sensors, including electro-optical and infrared cameras and ground surveillance radars that transmit imagery and locations for items of interest in real time to the TORCH Common Operating Picture located at command and control centres and to agents in the field.

Increased Level of Automation
As part of the CTTSO programme, Elbit Systems of America will demonstrate the capabilities of the Autonomous Relocatable Surveillance Tower, a trailer-mounted, 110-foot tower, equipped with a suite of cutting-edge sensors, in various conditions over the next year. The long-range sensor payload on this tower system consists of a ground surveillance radar, a high-resolution day camera, a thermal camera, and a laser illuminator. The tower’s trailer provides electronic enclosures, security features and a power generator. This trailer-based tower can be quickly deployed to areas-of-interest and set up by users in less than two hours.
The Autonomous Relocatable Surveillance Tower system uses artificial intelligence/computer vision to automatically maintain situational awareness by autonomously detecting, tracking, and identifying items of interest and then sending the information to command and control centres with no operator intervention. This increased level of automation and autonomy reduces operator workload to the point where fewer agents are needed in the command & control centre to survey larger portions of the border allowing some to return to the field.
Joel Friederich, Vice President of C4I and Homeland Security Solutions at Elbit Systems of America, highlighted: “Our systems are modular and adaptable to operational needs and complement other sensors in the field.”
Currently, more than 50 of the company’s Integrated Fixed Tower systems are deployed across the U.S. southern border, aiding agents.
