The continual threat from terrorist activities at critical facilities requires early detection before they can reach their target and complete their mission. This in turn has resulted in the need for advanced security systems that can effectively detect terrorist activity, while at the same time, reduce the need to address alarms caused by normal friendly activity.
Automatic Threat Assessment, also referred to as Identify Friend or Foe (IFF), is the ability to automatically acknowledge alarms created by friendly assets and can be achieved with a security system that goes beyond the typical “intrusion sensor only” configuration.
