Airport perimeters run for miles through jet blast, wildlife and weather, and every breach becomes a headline. RBtec gives the fence line zoned, low nuisance detection that slots into the security program TSA already audits.
Because they are enormous and mostly unwatched. A commercial airport fence runs from ten to forty kilometers through terrain no patrol can cover continuously, and investigations in the US press have documented hundreds of perimeter breaches at major airports over the years: fence climbers, vehicle gate rushes, people reaching aircraft. The other half of the problem is history: early perimeter systems drowned operations centers in nuisance alarms from jet blast, wildlife and weather until they were switched off or ignored.
US commercial airports operate under 49 CFR Part 1542 with a TSA approved Airport Security Program, which requires measures to prevent and detect unauthorized access to the secured area and air operations area. Internationally, ICAO Annex 17 and the Aviation Security Manual set the equivalent expectations. Neither mandates a specific detection technology; what they require is a documented, working answer for the boundary, which is exactly what a zoned detection layer provides to the ASP.
Divide and tune. RaySense AI DAS runs a single fiber along the fence and locates events along the run, so a climb by the cargo apron is a different alarm than one by the approach lights. Each stretch is tuned to its own environment: the fence behind the runway threshold lives with jet blast that would blind a naive sensor. Alarms call up the cameras on the alarmed section in the airport VMS, and operations responds to a verified event at a known location.
Section by section on the existing fence, coordinated with airside operations and without construction inside the strip. The zone map is designed around the ASP areas, so every alarm maps to a response procedure the airport already exercises.

With sensing on the fence itself. Fiber based detection runs the full length and reports the location of a climb or cut along the run, so a forty kilometer perimeter becomes a set of precise, tunable zones instead of an unwatched line.
Part 1542 requires a TSA approved Airport Security Program with measures to prevent and detect unauthorized access to the secured area and AOA. It does not mandate a specific technology; the detection layer is documented in the ASP as the airport designs it.
Zone by zone tuning. The stretch behind a runway threshold is profiled for jet blast, the tree line section for wildlife, and the sensing algorithms separate those signatures from cutting and climbing. Low nuisance rates are what keep the operations center trusting the system.
A zoned sensor cable system such as IRONCLAD covers a smaller field with one or two processors, wires into the existing alarm and camera setup, and needs no specialist maintenance staff.
Yes. Zone alarms integrate with common video management systems so the alarmed fence section calls up its cameras automatically, giving operations instant visual verification.
