Radar Surveillance

The Houston Airport System recently announced that George Bush Intercontinetal and William P. Hobby airports will install a perimeter and intrusion detection system called Radar Video Surveillance (RVS).

The technology is supplied by Honeywell International and is said to have the capability to track ground-based moving targets. According to the airports, RVS, originally developed by Honeywell Aerospace and used to protect ports and track missiles, was adapted for ground use and will be used to monitor the airports’ perimeters.
