Abstract
This paper presents the concept of an innovative, transportable and fast deployable land border and large area surveillance system, based on mobile unmanned vehicles (UVs). The system has been designed, developed and tested, within the course of realisation of a research project entitled Transportable Autonomous Patrol for Land Border Surveillance System – TALOS, executed under the EU 7th Framework Programme, in Security priority. In result of the TALOS project a technology demonstrator was developed, which consists of two unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and a command and control centre. The system robots feature a high degree of autonomy and are equipped with the multi-sensor data acquisition systems. The data are processed and integrated, including their fusion with navigation device information and accurate terrain data-bases. The Command, Control and Communication Centre, where large amounts of system information is displayed and managed, utilises advanced Man Machine Interface (MMI). This paper describes the developed system demonstrator and its features, as well as the TALOS system integration process.
