Basylis: first transportable perimeter security system for Indra refugee centers

The multinational Indra has developed the first transportable perimeter security system, as part of the European Basylis project, for rapid deployment to refugee centers and critical infrastructure located in remote locations.

With an execution period of two years and a budget of three million euros, the European R&D&i project Basylis, coordinated by Indra and promoted by the European Commission, it has successfully passed the field tests carried out over the last year for its operational commissioning..

The objective of this project has been the development of the first transportable and rapidly deployable security system to protect refugee centers and critical infrastructure located in remote centers..

This transportable security system has been validated by the National Center for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CNPIC) español, and for its design Indra has had the support of other technology companies and end users, such as NGOs and energy operators.

Basylis is made up of a portable control center, equipped with all the technology necessary to control, manage and monitor the security system, que puede desplegarse en un punto cualquiera en menos de dos horas e igualmente recogerse rápidamente para su utilización en un nuevo emplazamiento.

Precisely this element of mobility and rapid deployment makes the security system energy autonomous and can be used at any time in remote locations without power supply., thanks to the substations developed by Pilgrin.

The portable control center is responsible for monitoring and managing the information transmitted by a varied number of sensors (radar, radar laser, acoustic and terrestrial sensors, etc.) distributed throughout the security perimeter.

In this sense, The radar offers detection and identification capability at a distance of up to six kilometers, in the case of vehicles approaching the protected area, while the terrestrial and acoustic sectors detect the passage of a person at twenty-five meters.

The system is completed with video surveillance cameras installed in strategic areas and behavior detection software, in charge of processing the information received and identifying risk situations in this type of critical centers, such as avalanches of people, situations of panic or riots that pose a danger to the refugee camp, which can accommodate up to 10.000 personas

To guarantee the safety of field personnel and notify them of any incident, bracelets with geolocation technology have been developed to track them..
